A startup that's helping companies track their ESG efforts has just secured a $27 million Series C.
Canadian startup Novisto, launched in 2019, offers a software platform for clients to monitor and measure their sustainability impacts.
"We have an accounting-like platform for broader sustainability-related data for corporates," cofounder and CEO Charles Assaf told Business Insider.
"What is unique about that platform is that it becomes the system of records that really drives not just the reporting and the disclosure exercise, but also the broader management of the sustainability functions," he added.
Novisto's platform automates the collection and management of a company's sustainability data — a task that can otherwise be time-consuming if done manually. It then compares a company's ESG efforts according to industry benchmarks and outlines how well itis doing in relation to its competitors, for example.
"When your board is requesting specific targets to be tracked, these targets can't sit in an Excel sheet — they have to sit in a system of record that ensures the auditability of that information," Assaf said. "So a lot of companies have proceeded with externally assuring their ESG reports, and we have a mechanism to support this."
As an enterprise software startup, Novisto makes its money by charging a monthly subscription fee to clients. Customers include the likes of Meta, JetBlue, and pharma giant Sanofi, among other conglomerates and blue-chip companies.
Amid fluctuating attitudes toward ESG policy globally, fueled in part by a change in the US administration, climate tech startups have been facing more headwinds while fundraising. As a result, startups in the sustainability sector have found more opportunities to expand in Europe, where there are more stringent guidelines for ESG reporting.
The Series C was led by Inovia Capital, with participation from all previous investors, including White Star Capital, SCOR Ventures, and Sagard. This brings the startup's total funding to $55 million.
With the cash injection, Novisto will grow its team in Europe.

U.S. senators visit Canada to build bridges as trade deadline looms
Wyden said the delegation agreed the three countries should 'reinvigorate' USMCA when it comes due for review. 'This is something that we've had a considerable amount of success with since it was written during the Trump administration, and we ought to strengthen it,' Wyden said. 'We ought to build it, not get rid of it.' This marked the second congressional delegation to visit Carney in the past three months. He's now welcomed nearly 10 percent of the U.S. Senate into his office this year — five senators in May, four more on Monday. Wyden, the ranking member of the Senate Finance committee who also leads on international trade issues, was joined by Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.). Vamoosing the irritants Wyden applauded the prime minister's decision not to collect a digital services tax that could've raked in billions from U.S.-based tech giants that operate in Canada — but which angered Trump and many American lawmakers. But the senator wants his northern neighbors to go further, and appeared to secure a timeline to get his wish. 'I asked that Canada move as quickly as possible to get a law passed in Parliament making sure that it's gone permanently,' Wyden said. 'The prime minister was receptive to that. He said he would get on it in the fall.' The delegation also appeared to make headway on one of the most stubborn points of trade friction between the two nations: a Canadian softwood lumber sector that Americans complain is unfairly subsidized. Last week, Carney entertained the idea of export quotas that limit Canadian lumber entering the U.S. market. 'There is normally some element of managed trade that comes out of any agreement,' he told reporters, calling it a 'top priority' that he wants to fold into a larger deal with the Americans.
