About Us

Novata is a public benefit corporation set up to empower private companies to assess their Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) performance—because a company can’t change what it can’t measure. Founded in 2021 by a unique consortium of The Ford Foundation, Omidyar Network, S&P Global and Hamilton Lane, Novata provides secure and intuitive technology to help companies navigate the complex ESG landscape. Targeted at private investors and companies, the platform enables customers to collect, analyze, benchmark, and report relevant ESG information. It offers a clear starting point for selecting the metrics that matter, streamlines data collection, and contextualizes information to drive reporting and action.Our mission is to empower private markets to achieve a more sustainable and inclusive form of capitalism. We believe that business should be a force for good. Profitability is important, but having a positive impact on society and the environment is equally important.
