Planet is an Earth observation company providing high-frequency satellite imagery and geospatial data covering the entire globe. Through its constellation of small satellites, Planet delivers near-daily imagery that enables monitoring of land use, agriculture, forests, infrastructure, and environmental change at scale. Planet operates as a data and analytics platform, supplying satellite imagery and derived products that support environmental monitoring, climate risk analysis, supply chain transparency, and agricultural intelligence. It is not a sustainability reporting platform, not a carbon accounting tool, and not an operational management system.
