Pulsora provides enterprise sustainability management software focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data management, carbon accounting and regulatory sustainability reporting. The software is positioned as a centralized system for collecting sustainability-related data, managing calculations and supporting external disclosures across multiple frameworks, with an emphasis on enterprise-scale use cases. Pulsora’s primary focus is the centralized collection and management of ESG and sustainability data. The application is designed to aggregate data from across an organization, including business units, subsidiaries and external contributors, into a single system of record. This centralized approach is intended to support consistency, traceability and reuse of sustainability data across reporting and analytical use cases.
Pulsora was rated Exemplary in the ISG Sustainability Emerging Providers Buyers 
Guide™ published in December 2025. Providers that are Exemplary were found to perform above the median in product and customer experience. The guide is designed to provide a balanced perspective of software providers and products that is rooted in an understanding of business and IT requirements. The findings of this research provide a comprehensive approach to rating software providers and rank their ability to meet specific product and customer experience requirements. Emerging providers are those that do not meet the minimum revenue threshold for inclusion in the main Buyers Guide. These products offer some or most of the capabilities available from larger competitors and may deliver features, functions or user experiences that better suit specific enterprise needs. They may also provide a lower total cost of implementation and ownership.
The company was launched in 2021 under the name pulsESG, with an initial focus on building a unified SaaS platform for enterprise ESG analysis and reporting. In 2023, the company rebranded to Pulsora, reflecting a broader sustainability and carbon management positioning. Since its founding, Pulsora has raised venture funding, including a seed round and a Series A round, and has announced strategic investments from enterprise software–oriented investors, including Accenture Ventures and Workday Ventures. Pulsora has also joined the Workday Software Partner Program, indicating a go-to-market and integration strategy aligned with large enterprise ecosystems.
Pulsora’s offerings are delivered as a single sustainability management platform composed of multiple functional areas rather than separately branded products. The platform serves as the foundation for ESG data management, carbon accounting, regulatory reporting and analytics.
A core component of the platform is its carbon management and carbon accounting capability. This functionality supports the collection and calculation of greenhouse gas emissions data across Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 categories. The system is designed to manage emissions data inputs, calculation logic and reporting outputs within a unified workflow. Carbon accounting features include configurable calculation parameters, such as emission factors and methodologies, intended to support varying organizational requirements and reporting standards.
Another major area of functionality is regulatory sustainability reporting, with documented support for the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and associated European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Pulsora provides structured data collection aligned to ESRS requirements and supports the preparation of CSRD disclosures using the data maintained within the platform.
Pulsora also promotes AI-supported functionality under the name PulsoraAI. These capabilities are positioned as augmenting sustainability management workflows, including areas such as target setting, mitigation planning and analysis of sustainability-related risks and opportunities. Public materials indicate that some AI-driven features are available, while others are described as planned or upcoming.
Integration-oriented components are another element of the application. Pulsora is listed on the Workday Marketplace as a sustainability and carbon management application, indicating compatibility with the Workday ecosystem. The company has also announced integration with third-party emissions factor databases, such as Climatiq, to support emissions calculations. In addition, Pulsora has announced partnerships with implementation and advisory firms that position the platform for deployment in enterprise environments.
Carbon accounting is a key functional area. Pulsora supports the management of greenhouse gas emissions data across all three scopes, with workflows for data collection, calculation and reporting. The platform allows configuration of calculation inputs and methodologies, which can be important for organizations operating across multiple geographies or regulatory regimes. The system also emphasizes traceability of emissions calculations, including visibility into underlying data and calculation logic, which is relevant for audit and assurance processes.
Regulatory disclosure support is another documented focus area. Pulsora provides structured support for CSRD and ESRS reporting, enabling organizations to map data inputs to specific regulatory requirements and generate disclosures based on collected data. The platform is positioned to help organizations manage the complexity of emerging sustainability regulations by aligning internal data collection processes with external reporting obligations.
Pulsora also addresses sustainability data workflows across extended enterprise structures. Public documentation indicates support for collecting data from suppliers, portfolio companies, and other external entities, which is particularly relevant for Scope 3 emissions reporting and broader value-chain sustainability analysis.
Integration with enterprise systems and external data sources is an additional focus area. Pulsora’s presence in the Workday Marketplace and its association with Workday Ventures suggest an intended alignment with financial and human capital systems used by large organizations. Integration with emissions factor databases further supports carbon accounting use cases by providing standardized reference data.
AI-supported sustainability management is presented as an emerging focus. Pulsora describes AI-driven capabilities related to sustainability target setting, mitigation planning, and analysis, as well as planned features such as automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted reporting workflows. However, the publicly available information does not fully specify the scope, maturity, or operational constraints of these AI features.
Pulsora operates within the broader sustainability, ESG reporting, and carbon management software market. In the ESG and sustainability reporting category it competes with companies that also provide structured reporting and disclosure management capabilities. In the carbon accounting and climate management category, Pulsora competes with similar specialized software that focus primarily on greenhouse gas measurement and carbon reporting. Pulsora may also be compared with broader enterprise EHS and ESG platforms that combine sustainability reporting with environmental, health, and safety management capabilities.
