After concluding their search for a more efficient and scalable approach to ESG and carbon data management, Şişecam – one of the largest glass and soda ash manufacturer in the world – is using Pulsora to consolidate over 450 metrics across 17 departments and 100+ sites into a single system, improving visibility, traceability, and time-to-report across their sustainability program.
Founded in 1935 by İBank to contribute to the industrial development of the young Republic of Türkiye, Sisecam was established to build Türkiye’s glass industry. Over the decades, Sisecam has grown from a local initiative into a global player in glass and chemicals.
With operations across 4 continents, 14 countries, and 45 production plants, Şişecam complies with a wide range of reporting standards and frameworks, encompassing both mandatory regulations and voluntary initiatives. They needed to move beyond manual collection and siloed spreadsheets to something more centralized, auditable, and analytics-driven.

The challenge: Managing complex ESG and carbon data at global scale
Şişecam consistently prioritizes sustainability and transparency across its business units, including flat glass, glass packaging, auto glass, glassware, chemicals, mining, and energy.
As sustainability disclosure frameworks become more data-intensive and assurance-focused, managing that complexity effectively across 100 distinct facilities, including 45 production plants in 14 countries, became crucial.
Şişecam sought a solution that could help standardize ESG and carbon data across business units, introduce a centralized system of record, and ensure data was always controlled with determined validation rules.
The solution: A unified platform for ESG and GHG data collection, calculation, and reporting
Since implementation, Şişecam uses Pulsora to standardize and upload 450+ data points across 17 teams, including human resources, environment, health and safety, energy, production, corporate governance, and more.
Each department is responsible for submitting quantitative and qualitative data for the sites using Pulsora’s data sources module.
Operational data and automated GHG emissions
Şişecam uses Pulsora’s built-in calculators to monitor Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, capturing detailed data on fuel and raw material consumption for stationary combustion and process-related emissions. Scope 2 emissions are calculated using both location-based and market-based methodologies. With granular, monthly activity data entering into the platform, emissions are calculated automatically - enabling streamlined monitoring and enhanced data transparency.
Framework alignment and reporting
Şişecam’s teams utilize the platform to generate reports aligned with major disclosure frameworks — including GRI, CDP, EcoVadis, and LSEG — using a unified set of standardized metrics. With fast, monthly access to granular and automatically calculated data, the reporting process is significantly streamlined and more efficient. This replaces the need to duplicate efforts across multiple disconnected reporting processes.
Analytics and stakeholder reporting
The company now leverages 30+ dashboards to track year-over-year trends and performance across all sites, providing new levels of transparency for internal stakeholders and external auditors.
The results: Better visibility, more automation, and faster compliance
To streamline ESG and carbon reporting, Şişecam centralized over 450 metrics into a single system, replacing manual processes with standardized data collection.
This unified approach now supports emissions calculations and one-click reporting to different disclosure frameworks, among other key improvements:
Company-wide data centralization
All 17 teams submit data across 100 distinct facilities, including 45 production plants, using standardized processes and data formats.
One-to-many reporting
Şişecam uses a single data set to generate reporting outputs for different frameworks.
Improved energy efficiency tracking
Granular Scope 1 and 2 data supports operational decisions and drive progress toward efficiency goals.
Audit readiness and assurance
Şişecam can share complete datasets directly with its assurance provider and other stakeholders.
Time savings and less manual effort
Teams no longer manage data via spreadsheets and email chains. This reduces manual touchpoints and improves reliability.
A foundation for long-term ESG and carbon leadership
Şişecam continues to expand its use of Pulsora across sustainability and operational teams.
By adopting a unified approach to ESG and carbon data, Şişecam is strengthening its ability to meet current disclosure obligations while building a more efficient and resilient sustainability program for the future.
