Montréal, March 12, 2025 – Novisto, a leading ESG data management and reporting software provider, is delighted to announce a strategic partnership with GIST Impact, a globally renowned impact data and intelligence company and pioneer of the world’s first impact valuation engine.
Novisto and GIST Impact share a common commitment to innovation and the transformative power of sustainability data. This collaboration reflects a shared vision of leveraging data to drive broader change, enabling businesses to build a more resilient and sustainable future for people and the planet.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with GIST Impact and harness their expertise in impact valuation, traceable sustainability data, and AI-driven insights," said Charles Assaf, CEO of Novisto. "This partnership is a significant step forward in our mission to provide companies with a comprehensive CSRD solution—helping them navigate the entire reporting journey, from operationalizing double materiality assessments to audit readiness and XBRL tagging for regulatory submission. By integrating GIST’s intelligence and vast dataset, we can offer an EFRAG-aligned approach to double materiality, reducing both cost and complexity for companies striving to meet the CSRD and other global requirements," added Assaf.
"Businesses today must interrogate their impacts, risks, and opportunities, and understand what's most material,” said Sam King, SVP Corporate of GIST Impact. “Without data, this is subjective and time-consuming. That’s where we come in. We've partnered with Novisto to bring a cost-effective solution that’s science-backed and data-driven, drawing on our best-of-breed data and intelligence. It makes it easy to identify what really matters, saving businesses time and money, and establishing the solid data foundations for sustainability teams to deliver real value. The best part? The data’s fully traceable, keeping auditors happy and giving sustainability teams the tools to engage with confidence across the business," added King.
