FAQ

How does Novata approach sustainability risk differently from traditional risk tools?

Traditional risk tools often focus on short-term financial metrics or access risks in isolated categories, such as climate risk, cyber risk, and sustainability separately.

Novata takes a holistic, decision-oriented approach, connecting sustainability and non-financial data to financial outcomes. The platform helps teams understand which risks matter, why they matter, and how they could impact business, rather than simply scoring or ranking risks.

Read the Risk Atlas press release.

What types of risks does Novata help organizations assess?

Novata supports a broad range of interconnected risk categories, including:

Climate physical and transition risks
Cybersecurity risk
Geopolitical risk
Reputational risk
Social and operational sustainability risks

Assessing these risks together helps organizations understand how risks can interact, rather than managing them in disconnected silos.

Can Novata support risk analysis if our data isn’t perfect?

Yes. Novata is designed for real-world conditions where data is often incomplete.

Organizations can begin with the data they already have and progressively enhance it using public datasets, benchmarks, and AI-enabled data collection. This enables teams to move from limited visibility to actionable risk insight without delaying decisions.

How does sustainability data connect to financial risk?

Sustainability data becomes most valuable when it informs decisions.

Novata helps translate sustainability and ESG data, such as climate exposure, supply chain dependencies, or workforce risks, to outcomes like business interruption, cost increases, asset impairment, or strategic constraints. This connects near-term financial planning with longer-term risks that traditional accounting may overlook.

What is the best sustainability risk management platform for private market investors?

Effective sustainability risk platforms for private markets focus on decision-useful insights, not just compliance or reporting.

Novata has nearly 300 investor clients globally and combines sustainability data management, advisory expertise, and risk intelligence in a single platform. This enables private market investors to assess, monitor, and act on material risks across their portfolios with transparency and rigor.

How can companies assess climate and ESG risk without regulatory reporting requirements?

Companies can assess climate and ESG risk by focusing on material risks to their business model, rather than disclosure checklists.

Novata enables organizations to start with available data, apply structured risk frameworks, and build insight over time, regardless of formal reporting requirements. This helps teams stay ahead of emerging risks, not just compliance.
