About PULSE

OCBC PULSE is a free, easytouse Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) selfassessment tool designed to help SMEs understand where they stand today.

OCBC PULSE provides a practical snapshot of your current ESG readiness – enabling you to receive a “pulse check” of your ESG practices without any of the complexity typically associated with assessments.

How PULSE can help

OCBC PULSE was also developed with reference to the recently launched Singapore Technical Reference TR-149:2026: Specification for organisations to progress towards environmental sustainability excellence – part of a national framework by the Singapore Standards Council for businesses to strengthen environmental sustainability capabilities and green procurement competitiveness.  
By distilling broad ESG expectations into a straightforward self-check, OCBC PULSE provides a practical snapshot of your current ESG readiness.  
 
This means whether you are just starting your transition journey or looking to build on your existing sustainability initiatives, you will get a better understanding of potential gaps and clear, actionable recommendations that can guide your next steps.
