OCBC PULSE is designed for businesses of all sizes, across all sectors, and at any stage of ESG readiness.
OCBC PULSE
Your ESG starting point – simplified
Get a pulse check of your ESG readiness
OCBC PULSE is a free, easy‑to‑use Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) self‑assessment tool designed to help SMEs like yours understand where you stand today.
Created by OCBC in partnership with United Nations Global Compact Network Singapore (UNGCNS), 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.
OCBC PULSE is 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 receive clear, actionable recommendations that can guide your next steps.
