Our take
In today's corporate landscape, the call for sustainable practices is louder than ever, driven by heightened expectations from stakeholders and consumers alike. The challenge for businesses lies in the escalating demand to monitor, disclose, and enhance their sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) outputs.
Pulsora, formerly known as pulsESG, is rising to meet this challenge by providing companies with a unified platform, streamlining the sustainability process, from data gathering and declarations to auditing logs and analytics. The platform simplifies intricate sustainability management tasks, catering to a broad spectrum of users.
Pulsora plans to utilize fresh capital awarded in 2023 to enhance its enterprise sustainability management tool, including adding features like carbon accounting to help clients meet their targets. The company also aims to expand its footprint across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Asia. With over 400 global corporations already relying on Puslora to navigate the complexities of sustainability, the company's future looks promising.
