What Altanova does

Altanova is a boutique sustainability consulting firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in Long Island City, New York, with a regional office in Paris, France. The firm serves Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 enterprises—including Lenovo, an unnamed Fortune 200 technology company, a Fortune 500 financial services firm, a global biotech company, large manufacturing operators, and data center owners—delivering strategic and technical advisory across corporate real estate portfolios, data center energy systems, and ESG/regulatory compliance. Its core offerings span NYC Local Law compliance (LL84, LL87, LL88, LL97, LL154), CSRD readiness and double materiality assessments, smart workplace strategy, sustainable infrastructure development, and data center/large energy user energy procurement and microgrid design.

Altanova's underlying technology includes three proprietary software tools: a corporate real estate portfolio tracking platform that monitors building design, operations, and environmental target performance; a microgrid control software used to model and optimize energy arbitrage, ancillary services, and renewable integration for data center projects; and a double materiality matrix application for CSRD-aligned stakeholder engagement. The firm positions itself as vendor-agnostic, eschewing product resale in favor of client-aligned advisory.

The business model is professional services–based, with custom multi-phase consulting engagements priced on project scope rather than standardized SaaS or product fees; no pricing is publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise sales targeting C-suite and VP-level sponsors, supported by a content-driven website featuring project case studies, whitepapers (including a Smart & Green Workplaces publication), and an active LinkedIn presence. Revenue mechanics are anchored by long-term, expanding client relationships—most notably a Lenovo engagement that has grown from a 2012 sustainability assessment into an ongoing SBTi-aligned carbon reduction roadmap through 2030 across approximately 60 sites.
