With regulators, stakeholders, and consumers demanding more impactful and sustainable business practices, companies face increasing pressure to measure, report, and improve their sustainability and ESG performance.

With its new funding, Pulsora aims to further bolster its enterprise sustainability management platform, expanding functionalities like carbon accounting and gearing up for forthcoming regulations to ensure businesses maintain a proactive approach to their sustainability efforts.
“This Series A round is more than just funding—it's a mandate to accelerate the sustainability journeys of enterprises globally,” says Pulsora co-founder and CEO, Murat Sönmez. “We’re excited to put this new capital to work to continue to expand our footprint across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Asia, ensuring more businesses can efficiently establish and reach their sustainability targets.”
In the context of a $12 billion sustainability management market that's still in its infancy, Pulsora stands out as a transformative tool, helping companies streamline and simplify increasingly complex sustainability management operations, from private capital firms looking to improve their portfolios’ ESG performance to large enterprises seeking to centralize sustainability metrics from across their value chains.
“Our design philosophy prioritizes flexibility, auditability, comprehensiveness, and integration,” said Inderjeet Singh, co-founder, president and CTO at Pulsora. “The platform’s user-friendly interface, combined with real-time target monitoring, empowers businesses to manage their sustainability and ESG performance with utmost confidence.”
