Today, Salesforce has net zero residual emissions. When we made sustainability one of our core values, we made a commitment to accelerate the world’s journey to net zero. We’re on a mission to drive urgent action, and we hope you join us.
The world is in a climate crisis. The consequences of global temperatures rising more than 1.5°C are extreme and far-reaching for nature, humans, businesses, and our collective future. Scientists agree that globally we must reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieve net zero emissions by mid-century. That’s why Salesforce is committed to doing all we can to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
We’re bringing the full power of Salesforce to create a sustainable future by accelerating the world's largest businesses to net zero, sequestering 100 gigatons of carbon through conserving, restoring, and growing 1 trillion trees, protecting our oceans, and energizing the ecopreneur revolution.
Salesforce has net zero residual emissions today. We are moving towards a 1.5°C future by focusing on six sustainability priorities: emissions reduction, carbon removal, trillion trees & ecosystem restoration, education & mobilization, innovation, and regulation & policy.
To chart our path forward, we focus on six sustainability priorities. We hope other organizations will be inspired to join us and use our plan as a blueprint for building a more sustainable future.
You can read more about each of these sustainability priorities in our Climate Action Plan, and you can also check out our Stakeholder Impact Report to stay informed and track our progress. We are continuously advancing our sustainability program, integrating climate action into the core of our business to ultimately deliver on this shared, planetary goal of a more sustainable and equitable future. Core to our climate action journey is the continued reduction of our absolute emissions in a way that achieves a just and equitable transition to net zero, in line with a 1.5°C future.
Achieving the shared goal of global net zero will take all of us working together. That’s why, throughout our continuing journey, we are always keen to share what we’ve learned with the world. We are using the full power of Salesforce to create tools that will help others achieve net zero faster.
We use Net Zero Cloud to track emissions reductions and set goals across our scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Not only do we use Net Zero Cloud ourselves, but we empower our customers to use it as a complete sustainability management solution to get an actionable view of their carbon emissions data. Net Zero Cloud enables organizations to quickly track, analyze, and report on their environmental footprint with reliable, investor-grade data. This data quality is essential for third-party audits, financial filings, corporate reputation, and building trust with all stakeholders.
Accurately calculating greenhouse gas emissions is critically important, because on a global scale our first step toward a net zero future must be to greatly reduce emissions. We need to cut emissions in half by 2030 and to near zero by 2050. However, reducing emissions will take time, and doing that alone may not be enough. Organizations should use all the tools they have to work toward the global goal of net zero. One step organizations can take is to purchase carbon credits to help compensate for the emissions they haven’t yet reduced, while helping to scale climate solutions beyond their value chain.
Carbon credits can play an important role in our collective journey to a more sustainable and nature-positive future. So, just like we’ve done with Net Zero Cloud, we’re leveraging our own technology to deliver Net Zero Marketplace. Powered by Salesforce, Net Zero Marketplace is a climate action hub for everyone, and a site where organizations can explore innovative carbon projects and connect with ecopreneurs, and see detailed info, third-party ratings, and transparent pricing for most carbon credit projects to find those best aligned with their needs.
Tools like Net Zero Cloud and Net Zero Marketplace enable everyone who wants to take climate action — including those in small- and medium-sized enterprises — to accelerate their own journeys to net zero.
Businesses can also go beyond environmental data with the Salesforce ecosystem, harnessing the power of Salesforce to automate and streamline ESG reporting, reducing costs and expanding reporting capability across ESG initiatives.
We are excited to join We Don’t Have Time and tell the community more about what Salesforce is doing to make the world more sustainable and equitable. When we made sustainability one of our core values, we made a commitment to accelerate the world’s journey to net zero. We’re on a mission to drive urgent action, and we hope you’ll join us.

ABOUT SALESFORCE’S CLIMATE ACTION
- Salesforce achieved net zero residual emissions by compensating for emissions we cannot yet reduce across our value chain, and we work to actively “bend the curve” through emissions reductions in categories like work from anywhere, infrastructure, business travel and supplier enablement.
- We have funded the planting of 30 million trees on the way to our goal of 100 million trees planted by 2030, and we’ve donated $1 million to American Forests and One Tree Planted. Salesforce is a proud founding partner of 1t.org, whose mission is to conserve, restore, and grow 1 trillion trees by 2030.
- We are prioritizing reducing emissions as quickly as possible and aligning our full value chain emissions (scope 1, 2, and 3) to the global trajectory of ~50% emissions reductions by 2030, and near-zero emissions by 2040. Using Net Zero Cloud, we identify the most impactful opportunities for us to reduce our carbon footprint.
- We are publicly committing to the shared, global goal of achieving a just and equitable transition to net zero, in line with a 1.5°C future.
