Our take

Where Altruistiq leads

Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 24 capabilities where they differ (led by soc 2 / iso 27001 certification and water, waste & energy tracking).
Stated SAP, Oracle Fusion Cloud integration the alternative doesn't list.

Where Normative leads

Stronger evidenced coverage on 12 of the 24 capabilities where they differ (led by emission factor library and activity-based and spend-based calculation).

Where they differ

The 24 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.
