Salesforce Sets an Example by Publicly Endorsing the $369B Climate Bill
At a time where we are being pummelled by heatwaves, floods, wildfires, and so much more, fighting the climate crisis seems more pressing than ever. The recently proposed $369 billion climate bill that is soon to be voted on by Congress is a step forward in U.S. policy to curb our CO2 emissions in hopes of meeting the Paris Agreement and propelling us forward into a clean energy transition. Despite the importance of this act, many "pro-climate" companies have yet to publicly endorse it or properly educate their wide media base of its capabilities. While powerful trade associations have all declared opposition to this climate legislation in hopes of halting progress, companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple have all stayed silent.
A study from Harvard Business Review reports that "companies seem to be more comfortable taking public stands on issues like race, immigration, gun violence, and transgender rights before speaking strongly on the environment." What these companies fail to realize is that the famously-adhered-to term of "business as usual" can no longer apply so as long as our environment continues to be destroyed. Especially with a bill as important as the one being voted on next week, companies are given the opportunity to speak out, to take a real and public stand for aggressive global action on climate change.

So far, a website tracking which companies have spoken up called https://gotimeforclimate.com/ has identified Salesforce and Constellation as only 2 out of the 21 top “pro-climate” companies who have publicly endorsed this legislation. They truly deserve climate love for their actions, hopefully setting an example for the remaining organizations to become more vocal and back their boasted "climate-friendly" status.
