Our take
Where Novisto leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 16 of the 25 capabilities where they differ (led by emission factor library and double materiality assessment).
Where Persefoni leads
- Stronger evidenced coverage on 9 of the 25 capabilities where they differ (led by activity-based and spend-based calculation and multi-entity / multi-geography consolidation).
Where they differ
The 25 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.
