Our take
Where Greenstone leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 7 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by water, waste & energy tracking and multi-entity / multi-geography consolidation).
Where Novisto leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 23 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by calculation audit trail and csrd/esrs reporting).
Where they differ
The 30 capabilities (of 59 in the ESG & sustainability taxonomy) where the evidence separates them, biggest gaps first. “Not evidenced” means our research found no public documentation of this capability — the vendor may still offer it. Confirm on a demo.
