JTC, Novata
Jersey-headquartered JTC, a global professional services provider, has just announced a new partnership with New York-based Novata, a specialist sustainability technology company, which aims to support asset managers and investors with their sustainability goals.

The partnership will combine JTC’s growing Sustainability Services practice – spanning corporate, funds and private client business lines – with Novata’s sustainability technology to provide sustainability solutions for JTC’s existing and new clients. 

A B-Corp certified public benefit corporation, Novata offers a global technology-driven sustainability management platform, providing solutions that can automate data collection and reporting, streamline carbon accounting, and simplify regulations – all aimed at making it easy for organisations to achieve their sustainability goals. Novata’s current clients manage a combined total of more than $12 trillion of assets, the firm said in a statement.

“Our fast-growing Sustainability Services business has been searching for the perfect technology-enabled partner to complement our deep-expertise in advisory, regulatory compliance and reporting,” David Vieira (pictured), group head of Sustainability Services at JTC, said. “In Novata, we have found both the best-in-class technology platform and a team that is as dedicated to client service excellence as we are.”

“The growing complexities of sustainability regulation and reporting require both technology and human expertise which is why I’m happy to be announcing our partnership with JTC to offer market-leading solutions that encompass both sustainability technology and advisory services to JTC’s clients around the world,” Conor O’Laoire, head of partnerships at Novata, added.
