Novisto is an ESG reporting and sustainability data management platform for companies that need a structured process for collecting, validating, and preparing ESG data. It replaces manual, spreadsheet-based methods with a governed workflow that assigns data owners, standardises inputs, tracks changes, and delivers consistent outputs for internal and external stakeholders.
Novisto enables ESG teams to manage repeatable reporting cycles with accountability and traceability, especially when multiple departments contribute data and leadership requires audit-ready documentation.
Best suited for mid-market to enterprise companies that require cross-functional ESG data collection and disclosure workflows, rather than a basic reporting tracker.
Novisto overview
Novisto is a sustainability reporting and ESG data management platform designed to bring structure and governance to the reporting process. It centralises sustainability metrics, assigns ownership across departments and maintains traceability from initial data collection through to final disclosure.
The platform is built around managing repeatable ESG reporting cycles. It replaces informal, spreadsheet-based coordination with a governed workflow that standardises inputs, tracks approvals and prepares disclosure-ready outputs aligned with regulatory and voluntary frameworks.
Novisto is typically adopted by mid-market to enterprise organisations preparing for increasing disclosure obligations, including CSRD. Its positioning centres on workflow coordination, data governance and accountability across cross-functional sustainability programmes.
Novisto's core features
Novisto structures its platform around the sustainability reporting cycle. It centralises ESG metrics, assigns data ownership and maintains traceability from initial data collection through to final disclosure.
The platform is designed to make reporting repeatable, governed and auditable across multiple departments.
ESG data management and collection
Novisto provides a centralised ESG data hub that standardises metrics and coordinates cross-functional contributors.
Capabilities include:
- Structured ESG data requests assigned to internal owners
- Standardised data templates
- Ownership tracking across departments
- Centralised metric storage
Practical impact: Organisations with multiple contributors can formalise ESG data collection and reduce reliance on informal spreadsheets. Clear ownership improves accountability and reduces reporting friction.
Validation and governance workflows
Novisto embeds review and approval controls into the reporting cycle.
Features include:
- Data validation checkpoints
- Approval workflows
- Change tracking and version history
- Governance controls for audit readiness
Practical impact: ESG teams can maintain traceable records of how figures were reviewed and approved. This supports internal governance and preparation for external assurance.
Disclosure preparation and reporting outputs
The platform supports structured output generation aligned with regulatory and voluntary reporting frameworks.
Capabilities include:
- Reporting outputs aligned with CSRD and other frameworks
- Structured disclosure mapping
- Repeatable annual reporting cycles
- Stakeholder-ready documentation
Practical impact: Organisations can move from raw data inputs to disclosure-ready outputs through a governed process, improving consistency across reporting periods.
Workflow coordination across departments
Novisto’s workflow-first model connects sustainability teams with contributors across finance, operations and compliance.
Features include:
- Task assignment and progress tracking
- Cross-department coordination
- Central oversight of reporting cycles
Practical impact: For organisations treating sustainability reporting as an ongoing operational programme, structured coordination reduces the risk of missed inputs or incomplete disclosures.
Who is Novisto Is best suited to?
Novisto may be well-suited to:
- Mid-market to enterprise organisations replacing spreadsheet-based ESG reporting
- Teams managing cross-department data collection
- Companies preparing for structured disclosure requirements such as CSRD
- Organisations seeking a repeatable sustainability reporting cycle
Its positioning aligns most closely with companies prioritising governance and workflow structure within ESG reporting.
Novisto's pricing
Novisto pricing is typically quote-based, with costs depending on scope and rollout complexity. Pricing varies by entity count, number of contributors, required modules, and implementation or integration requirements.
Why customers choose KEY ESG
Novisto is built to structure and govern the ESG reporting cycle. Its strength lies in coordinating data contributors, validating inputs and producing disclosure-ready outputs on a repeatable cadence.
KEY ESG addresses a broader set of sustainability requirements. In addition to managing reporting workflows, it is designed to support detailed carbon accounting, portfolio oversight and simultaneous alignment with multiple regulatory frameworks.
Multi-framework sustainability reporting
Novisto focuses on organising ESG data collection and mapping outputs to reporting requirements.
KEY ESG is structured to support reporting across CSRD, IFRS S1/S2, SFDR, TCFD, CDP, GRI, Invest Europe, EDCI, and California Climate Laws. Rather than managing one reporting cycle at a time, the platform enables data to be applied across overlapping frameworks and investor disclosures as obligations expand.
For organisations facing parallel regulatory requirements across jurisdictions, this flexibility becomes increasingly important.
Comprehensive Scope 1–3 carbon accounting
Novisto supports ESG reporting processes, including emissions-related disclosures.
KEY ESG provides full Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon accounting across all 15 Scope 3 categories, supported by more than 70,000 emission factors sourced from DEFRA, US EPA and Climatiq.
This level of carbon coverage supports enterprises and investment firms managing complex supply chains, financed emissions and portfolio-wide reporting obligations. For organisations where carbon data forms a central part of sustainability strategy, deeper modelling capability may be required beyond structured reporting workflows.
Portfolio and multi-entity management
Novisto enables cross-department ESG coordination within a company.
KEY ESG extends this approach across subsidiaries and portfolio companies, providing consolidated dashboards and entity-level controls within the same system.
For private equity firms and enterprise groups with multiple reporting entities, the ability to aggregate and benchmark sustainability data across the portfolio can influence investment, risk and value-creation decisions.
Workflow-driven audit controls and AI-powered data validation
Both platforms support governance through approvals and traceability.
KEY ESG embeds validation checkpoints, structured review layers and evidence management throughout sustainability and carbon processes. Data lineage, calculation logic and approval history remain visible across reporting cycles.
For organisations preparing for external assurance or regulatory scrutiny, the ability to demonstrate how sustainability data was validated, reviewed and approved can influence platform selection.

Final thoughts
Novisto is well-suited to organisations seeking a structured ESG reporting workflow with clear ownership and repeatable disclosure cycles.
For enterprises and investment firms managing multi-framework reporting, detailed Scope 3 accounting and cross-entity sustainability governance, a broader sustainability platform may provide stronger long-term alignment.
If your organisation requires portfolio-wide visibility, comprehensive carbon accounting and structured reporting controls across multiple frameworks, KEY ESG is designed for that level of complexity.
