Today, Salesforce officially announced sustainability as a core company value, joining its values of trust, customer success, innovation, and equality. And, to help organizations accelerate their own journeys to net zero emissions, Salesforce is also making Net Zero Cloud 2.0 — a solution that tracks greenhouse gas emissions — available globally.
Salesforce further integrates sustainability throughout company
With sustainability as a core value, Salesforce is leveraging its full power to drive climate action and further operationalize sustainability across its entire business. This means every internal organization incorporating sustainability into its V2MOM — a Salesforce alignment process that drives the company’s success.
Salesforce today has net zero emissions and has been voluntarily reporting on its greenhouse gas emissions since fiscal year 2012. Since that time, the company has continued to increase the scope of its climate action strategy by actively engaging policymakers, peers, partners, suppliers, and customers to accelerate towards a collective net zero goal. And just last week, Salesforce announced that it is tying executive pay to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, including two sustainability metrics.
Mandatory climate reporting is coming
Regulatory change may soon require organizations to report on ESG matters, and many countries are already disclosing their climate-related financial risks and opportunities.
Legislatures and regulatory agencies in the United States are also considering disclosure rules. A bill that would require companies to disclose all greenhouse gas emissions is moving through the California legislature; and the U.S. SEC has solicited public input on voluntary climate change disclosures.
The next generation of Net Zero Cloud
In this new era of climate accountability, organizations’ carbon data will need to be as trusted as their financial data. Organizations will also need to know how to reduce emissions in a credible and meaningful way.
Net Zero Cloud 2.0 has been completely rebuilt to offer trusted reporting, deeper insights, and supplier management so that organizations can go net zero now. With Net Zero Cloud 2.0, organizations can get sustainability insights with powerful Tableau CRM dashboards to achieve their climate goals and take action with:
• Carbon Footprint Forecast: Organizations can find the fastest path to net zero with ‘what-if’ analysis to visualize progress and alignment to their climate action commitments.
• Science-Based Targets: Setting goals in line with science-based targets and measuring progress.
• Supplier Management: Track scope 3 emissions across the entire value chain and help suppliers and distributors reduce emissions.
• Waste Data Management: Organizations can upload and track hazardous and non-hazardous waste management data and treatment methods like landfilled, composted, or combusted — all in one place.
