Our take
Where Normative leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 14 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by activity-based and spend-based calculation and product carbon footprint (pcf)).
Where Novisto leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 16 of the 30 capabilities where they differ (led by double materiality assessment and tcfd/issb-aligned 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.
