A New Chapter in Sustainability Data

The acquisition coincides with a new funding round led by S&P Global, underscoring strong investor confidence in Novata’s mission to make sustainability data transparent, actionable, and value-creating for investors and corporates.

Together, Novata and Atlas Metrics now support more than 400 clients and 13,000+ companies worldwide, helping investors, banks, and corporates collect, report, and act on sustainability data across global markets.

Expanding Reach and Capabilities

Founded in 2021, Atlas Metrics has become a European market leader serving hundreds of banks and venture firms. Its AI-driven platform simplifies sustainability reporting and risk management, offering scalability, intuitive workflows, and high data integrity.

With this acquisition, Novata gains a strengthened European presence, deeper relationships with financial institutions, and expanded product innovation capacity.

“This acquisition is an important step toward building the global leader in sustainability management,” said Alex Friedman, CEO and Co-Founder of Novata. “Together, we have the scale, technology, and global expertise to help companies and investors turn ESG data management, regulatory readiness, and benchmarking into drivers of long-term value creation.”

To power this next phase of growth, Novata closed a new funding round led by S&P Global, with participation from Hamilton Lane, Motive Ventures, The Ford Foundation, and Novata co-founders Alex Friedman and Josh Green.

The funding reflects growing market confidence in sustainability technology—despite rhetoric suggesting otherwise—and highlights investors’ continued belief in ESG as a driver of business resilience and performance.

“From the start, we saw a natural alignment with Novata, both in mission and in culture,” said Wladimir Nikoluk, CEO of Atlas Metrics. “Joining Novata lets us deliver on our belief that sustainability management should be simple, scalable, and rooted in technology—now at global scale.”

Global Scale, Local Strength

With teams now in New York, London, Berlin, and Singapore, Novata integrates Atlas Metrics’ technology into its sustainability data management platform, enabling clients to navigate complex global regulations with precision and confidence.

As the ESG landscape matures, Novata’s acquisition of Atlas Metrics marks a pivotal consolidation moment—bringing together innovation, credibility, and scale to help organizations turn sustainability data into actionable strategy and long-term value.
