Focus Area
Description
Emission Reduction
Monitor, avoid, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions across its operations and entire value chain, as well as spur systemic changes that will achieve emissions reductions at scale
Carbon Removal
To address climate change, we first need to decrease emissions, and increase removals from the atmosphere; and we need these solutions in combination.
Trillion Trees & Ecosystem Restoration
Taking action to enhance the world’s natural systems to sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
Education & Mobilization
We raise awareness and enable behavior change for diverse groups of people to embrace low-carbon solutions.
Innovation
Accelerate the path to decarbonization by energizing the ecopreneur revolution.
Policy & Regulation
Use the company’s voice and its influence to reorient the global economy around a Net Zero future by advancing policies that internalize the cost of carbon, remove subsidies for fossil fuels, and align with science.

🎯Goals & Actions

2030 - Reduce 50% of operational emissions relative to 2018

Focus action on accroding to four areas:

  1. Work from anywhere – have the world's lowest carbon, most sustainable work-from-anywhere flex model, resulting in at least a 50% reduction in absolute emissions relative to business as usual in FY31
  2. Infrastructure – Salesforce’s vision is to operate on the world's lowest carbon, most sustainable cloud infrastructure. Target a 10% annual carbon-intensity reduction from Infrastructure.
  3. Business Travel – We build robust programs to change behavior, grow the market for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, electrify ground transportation, and optimize travel booking technology and reporting to empower responsible travel choice
  4. Supplier Enablement – Salesforce has committed that suppliers representing 60% of our Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions will set their own science-based targets (SBTs) by FY25, and Salesforce is invested in supporting its suppliers in achieving their targets.

2030 - Conserve, restore, and grow 100 million trees
