In today’s fast-paced, data-rich environment, sustainability teams are expected to deliver insights quickly, meet evolving reporting standards, and coordinate across multiple departments and systems. But that’s easier said than done. Disconnected platforms, manual data handling and inconsistent formats often slow progress and introduce unnecessary risk. With the increasing complexity of global operations and legacy systems, integration is no longer a nice-to-have but a baseline requirement.

These challenges aren’t just technical; they affect how efficiently you operate and how confidently you report. For sustainability leaders, having a platform that can connect with existing systems, automate data flows, provide flexibility for manual entry and support accurate reporting is essential. That’s why integration is a pre-configured, foundational capability within our ULTRUS™ UL 360 software for environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability data management.

Seamless connectivity across systems

UL 360 software’s integration framework is designed to connect with the systems you already use — human resources (HR) platforms, supplier databases, energy management tools and more. Whether you’re importing HR profiles or exporting sustainability metrics to Microsoft SharePoint or Azure, the process is automated and secure. This can help reduce the time spent manually consolidating data and provide consistency across departments, giving you a more reliable foundation for reporting and analysis.

Flexible data collection designed for confidence and control

Our software offers a balanced approach to sustainability reporting by combining powerful manual tools with growing automation capabilities. Users can confidently collect and manage data through intuitive features like delegation, surveys and disclosures, which support transparency and auditability across reporting workflows.

F or areas where automation adds efficiency, additional UL 360 software components can be added to create direct integration with procurement systems, such as the Purchased Goods and Services (PGS) module. This integration enables organizations to automatically import spend data and streamline the calculation of Scope 3 Category 1 emissions.

Customizable dashboards further enhance the experience by helping users visualize data, spot anomalies and apply tailored logic to flag potential issues. As the platform evolves, we continue to expand automation where it makes sense while giving users the flexibility to choose the best method for their needs.

Simplified compliance and reporting

Our UL 360 software streamlines compliance reporting by automating the generation of audit-ready reports, disclosures and dynamic dashboards. Its flexible export framework makes extracting charts and data sets tailored to your organization simple so you have the right data at the right time. Customizable workflows support internal review and approval processes, helping teams stay aligned and on schedule. These capabilities help reduce the burden of reporting cycles and improve confidence in the accuracy and completeness of disclosures across a range of sustainability frameworks.

Scaling to meet growing data demands

As sustainability programs expand, so do the volume and complexity of data. O ur UL 360 software is designed to handle increasing demand, efficiently processing large data sets in the background while providing instant access to ad hoc reports.

Resumable Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) connections enable reliable data transfers even during peak periods. This scalability enables organizations to grow their reporting scope without compromising performance or reliability.

Real-time access to critical insights

Timely insights are essential for effective decision-making. Our UL 360 software API and SharePoint integrations make it easy to access your sustainability data and connect it with tools like Microsoft Power BI to create executive dashboards. The platform also includes a robust emission factor library with over 100,000 global standards, streamlining emissions calculations and improving accuracy. These capabilities help organizations move from reactive reporting to proactive insight generation.

Flexible integration without the complexity

Our UL 360 software supports multiple integration methods —SFTP , API, SharePoint and manual — making it adaptable to a wide range of IT environments. Pre-built connectors with partners such as amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project), Arcadia and Energy Star® help accelerate implementation. The UL 360 platform also integrates with internal systems such as SAP , HR platforms, building management systems and data lakes. This flexibility helps reduce integration costs, shorten deployment timelines and minimize the need for custom development.

It’s more than a feature — it’s the foundation

Integration may not be the most visible feature of a sustainability platform, but it is one of the most essential. W ith our ULTRUS™ UL 360 software for ESG and sustainability data management, organizations can reduce inefficiencies, improve data quality and deliver smarter, faster ESG reports. For teams navigating the complexity of sustainability data, having integration built into the platform’s foundation makes all the difference.
