EcoVadis and private markets sustainability platform Novata have announced a new partnership aimed at enhancing carbon data transparency across global supply chains. The collaboration embeds verified primary carbon metrics from EcoVadis directly into Novata’s platform, establishing a direct data pipeline for corporate and financial clients.
The move marks a further expansion of the EcoVadis Carbon Data Network, an interconnected ecosystem designed to accelerate Scope 3 accounting by linking primary supplier data with sustainability platforms.
Dexter Galvin, Senior Vice President of Climate at EcoVadis, noted that building resilient supply chains requires deep interoperability across climate technology providers. He highlighted that integrating with Novata enables corporations and financial institutions to move away from spend-based estimates towards precise primary data, forming a reliable foundation for Scope 3 calculations and targeted decarbonisation efforts.
The integration incorporates the EcoVadis Carbon Data Reliability Level Framework to support accuracy and trust in emissions reporting. By routing primary supplier emissions metrics and carbon maturity analytics straight into Novata’s system, mutual clients can move beyond broad industry averages. Instead, users can calculate Scope 3.1 footprints using granular location and activity data to satisfy increasing regulatory and investor requirements.
Conor O’Laoire, Head of Global Partnerships at Novata, stressed that navigating modern regulatory standards demands verifiable insights. He explained that accepting verified metrics directly from EcoVadis gives clients the clarity required to pinpoint supply chain impact and implement targeted sustainability measures.
By joining the Carbon Data Network, Novata becomes part of a broader industry initiative aimed at bridging the Scope 3 data gap, converting regulatory reporting into a practical tool for corporate decarbonisation.
