EcoVadis and Novata form new partnership to deliver high-precision, primary Carbon Data integration for corporate and investor decarbonization. Jul 30, 2026, 08:00 ET The collaboration embeds verified EcoVadis supplier data into Novata's sustainability management platform, further expanding the EcoVadis Carbon Data Network to advance Scope 3 transparency and satisfy intense regulatory and investor scrutiny. PARIS and NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - EcoVadis, the global standard for resilient, sustainable supply chains, and Novata, a leading sustainability management platform for private markets, today announced a new partnership. The collaboration creates a seamless data-to-insight pipeline by embedding verified EcoVadis supplier primary carbon metrics directly into Novata's secure platform. This announcement marks the latest milestone in EcoVadis' mission to build the market's most interconnected Carbon Data Network (CDN), a rapidly expanding ecosystem designed to accelerate Scope 3 transparency and reporting by linking high-quality primary data with leading carbon accounting and sustainability platforms. "Building a truly resilient and transparent global supply chain requires deep interoperability across the climate tech ecosystem," said Dexter Galvin, SVP Climate at EcoVadis. "By welcoming Novata to our rapidly expanding Carbon Data Network, we are making it easier than ever for corporations and financial institutions to shift from spend-based estimates to precise primary data. This integration empowers users with the trusted data engine needed to calculate reliable Scope 3 footprints and drive real, measurable decarbonization." This partnership also leverages the strength of the recently published EcoVadis Carbon Data Reliability Level(TM)(DRL) Framework - rooted in EcoVadis methodology and powered by its Carbon Data Network - to restore trust and reliability in corporate carbon emissions reporting. Through this integration, investment firms and corporate clients can effortlessly route primary supplier emissions data directly into Novata's data management space. By providing high-quality supplier data and carbon maturity analytics drawn directly from the supply chain footprint, EcoVadis serves as the primary data engine. In turn, Novata's carbon solution ingests this primary data, enabling mutual users to move past high-level sector averages and calculate highly accurate Scope 3.1 footprints, drawing granular insights by location and activity type, and allowing organizations to execute data-backed decarbonization strategies capable of satisfying strict investor and regulatory demands. "To effectively navigate today's rigorous regulatory environment and meet investor expectations, businesses need granular, verifiable data," said Conor O'Laoire, Head of Global Partnerships at Novata. "Partnering with EcoVadis allows us to securely ingest verified primary carbon metrics directly into Novata's platform. This integration gives our clients the clarity they need to move beyond industry averages, gain precise visibility into their supply chains, and execute highly targeted sustainability strategies." With this announcement, Novata joins other leading platforms within the EcoVadis Carbon Data Network to close the critical Scope 3 data gap, transforming compliance requirements into an actionable catalyst for business value and global carbon reduction.

Novata has launched Novata for Supply Chains, a platform enabling organisations to request, track and manage sustainability data from suppliers through a single structured workflow. The solution replaces manual data collection with a standardised, AI-powered system that provides visibility into supplier networks. The platform allows organisations to set up supplier accounts, track progress in real time, and review submissions with a full audit trail. Novata AI helps suppliers upload data from internal systems and extract information from documents, whilst surfacing risk signals and translating sustainability information into actionable insights for organisations. The solution builds on Novata's collaboration with Microsoft to streamline supplier sustainability data collection. It supports both data collectors and suppliers, offering standardised responses and reducing the reporting burden for resource-constrained teams.

Novata launches portfolio, supply chain risk monitoring solution. Private markets-focused sustainability data solutions provider Novata today announced the launch of Risk Atlas, a new AI-powered tool designed to help investors and companies identify, prioritize and monitor emerging risks across portfolios and supply chains. New York-based Novata was founded in 2021 by S&P Global, the Ford Foundation, asset management firm Hamilton Lane, and social change-focused investment firm Omidyar Network. Developed in collaboration with general partners (GPs) and limited partners (LPs), the platform was designed to provide private markets investors with a solution for ESG measurement, data collection and benchmarking, and enable reporting on sustainability data. According to the company, the new solution measures risk across five key categories - including reputational, cyber, geopolitical, physical climate, and transition risk - using AI-enabled intelligence from specialized service providers to continuously surface, structure, and refresh risk signals. Key features and capabilities of the new solution highlighted by Novata include enabling organizations to identify where risk is concentrated or emerging across multiple categories, compare risk across companies, sectors, and categories and understand how multiple risks contribute to an entity's overall exposure profile, and to prioritize monitoring and engagement based on material exposure. The company said that the platform is designed to support the full investment lifecycle, from pre-investment screening to ongoing portfolio oversight, providing the ability to flag high-risk exposures before capital deployment, track risk developments through automated updates, monitor portfolio exposure at scale, and customize risk thresholds and weightings based on strategy. Christina Anslem, Advisory Manager at Novata said: "We built Risk Atlas to help organizations move beyond fragmented risk signals. By standardizing risk across portfolios and supply chains, the platform helps teams identify where exposure is most critical, scale monitoring more efficiently, and focus resources where action is needed most."
