Planet Expands Business with Welsh Government for Land and Natural Resource Management
SAN FRANCISCO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Planet Labs PBC (NYSE: PL), a leading provider of daily data and insights about change on Earth, today announced a six-figure expansion of its contract with the Welsh Government. Using Planet's satellite data, the Welsh government is developing data-driven, routine monitoring systems for agriculture, water and land use change, and emergency response.
This expanded agreement provides the Welsh Government with Planet's high-resolution SkySat tasking capabilities, PlanetScope near-daily global satellite imagery and historical archive, and the company's analysis-ready Planet Fusion data. Through this deal, these products are accessible to all eight universities in Wales, through Campus licenses, to inform novel research and model future landscape scenarios for government policy.
The government of Wales has leveraged Planet's satellite data since 2020, and this expansion aims to further develop its existing work, moving from test and trial projects to development of operational systems and use as part of business-as-usual processes. The Welsh government is focused on developing the use of satellite imagery to identify, monitor and understand 'change' in support of priority policy areas including compliance and monitoring, land use, flood, forestry, and water quality management. With Planet's historical archives of high-cadence and high-resolution satellite imagery, the Welsh Government is also evaluating the economic trade-offs of landscape change.
"With our ability to deliver global satellite data on a near-daily basis, Planet is uniquely suited for government-wide monitoring, compliance, and broad area management initiatives," said Planet President and CFO Ashley Johnson. "It's really exciting, as we are seeing countries across Europe transform their agricultural lands and increase resource efficiency by integrating our data into their policy plans."
By combining Planet's data with the Welsh government's robust research initiatives, Wales is able to build innovative policy outcomes, to better understand the Welsh environment, to support evidence-based policies now and as part of long-term frameworks for the Wellbeing of Future Generations.

Procter & Gamble plans to slash 7,000 non-manufacturing jobs over next 2 years
-- Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) plans to cut around 7,000 jobs, or roughly 15% of its global non-manufacturing workforce, over the next two years. The move is part of a broader organizational overhaul aimed at simplifying structures by forming smaller teams with expanded responsibilities. The company emphasized that the layoffs are not a cost-cutting measure. The consumer goods maker, known for brands like Tide, Pampers and Bounty, had about 108,000 employees as of last June. Executives announced the restructuring plans during a presentation in Paris, where they also signaled an intention to streamline the company's product portfolio. While specific details were not provided, the changes could involve exiting certain categories and shedding smaller brands in select markets. In April, P&G reported a decline in quarterly sales and lowered its full-year revenue outlook, citing global economic uncertainty and geopolitical instability. The company posted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.54 for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, slightly above the $1.53 that analysts expected. Revenue came in at $19.78 billion, falling short of the $20.11 billion forecast. It also said it was exploring ways to manage the impact of tariffs, including raising prices, reformulating products and tightening costs. Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten said current tariffs are expected to reduce annual growth by $1 billion to $1.5 billion. To offset the impact, the company plans to rely on pricing, productivity, and innovation in the near term, while also exploring changes in product formulation and sourcing. With one quarter remaining in its fiscal year, P&G currently anticipates flat sales growth for fiscal 2025, a downgrade from its previous projection of 2% to 4%. It also lowered its core earnings outlook to a range of $6.72 to $6.82 per share, down from the earlier forecast of $6.91 to $7.05.
