Core Features

Novata tailors its sustainability software platform to distinct audiences to address their unique needs in carbon accounting.

  • Investors: For investors (e.g., private equity firms, asset managers), Novata provides tools to streamline due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and value creation, enabling them to collect and analyze ESG data across investments, benchmark performance, and comply with regulations like the EU's SFDR. The platform supports carbon accounting (including financed emissions) and offers investor-specific features like scoring models for risk assessment.

  • Companies: For companies, Novata focuses on simplifying internal ESG data collection, carbon footprint tracking (via the Carbon Navigator for Scopes 1-3), and regulatory compliance (e.g., CSRD) through user-friendly workspaces and advisory services

While investors use Novata to manage ESG across portfolios, companies use it to meet stakeholder demands and reporting requirements efficiently. Both offerings share core technology but are optimized for their respective workflows.

Novata stands out as a purpose-built ESG platform for private markets helping users turn complex data into actionable insights. Users have expressed satisfaction with its ease of use, collaborative features, and clear guidance highlighting features such as built-in metric explanations, real-time chat support, and seamless multi-user functionality. The platform’s automated data collection, step-by-step workflows, and benchmark comparisons simplify ESG reporting, while its responsive customer support and thorough onboarding ensure a smooth experience for both investors and companies. With ISO 27001-certified security and backing from industry leaders, Novata looks set to strengthen its capabilities in helping investors and companies to navigate sustainability reporting challenges.
