ESG data collection support

As our portfolio continued to grow, we recognised an opportunity to enhance our ESG and impact metrics collection. Initially, we utilized a spreadsheet-based approach for data collection. With our expanding portfolio, we realized the need for a more streamlined method. Novata is supporting us on this journey, providing a user-friendly platform for the GP and portfolio companies to navigate data requests.
