+Proposal Title: EcoPulse – AI-Powered Sustainability & Carbon Footprint Tracker
+
+Summary:
+EcoPulse is a ServiceNow-powered sustainability management platform that helps organizations track, report, and reduce their carbon emissions through intelligent data aggregation, AI-driven recommendations, and real-time dashboards.
+
+Problem:
+Most companies lack visibility into their daily carbon footprint and sustainability progress. Manual tracking is inefficient and often inaccurate, making it hard to take meaningful climate action.

+
+Key Features:
+1. Automated Data Collection – Integrates with ERP, IoT, and utility APIs.
+2. Carbon Footprint Analytics – AI calculates energy, transport, and waste impact.
+3. Smart Recommendations – Machine learning suggests ways to reduce emissions.
+4. Sustainability Dashboard – Visual reports and compliance tracking.
+5. Green Credits Tracker – Rewards teams for eco-friendly actions.
+6. Automated Reporting – Generate ESG and sustainability reports instantly.
+
+Target Users:
+- Enterprises aiming for net-zero goals
+- Government agencies
+- Educational institutions
+- NGOs focused on sustainability
+
+Integrations:
+- IoT sensors and smart meters
+- SAP / Workday
+- Google Cloud Carbon Footprint API
+- ServiceNow Performance Analytics
+
+Impact:
