What is stakeholder capitalism?

A system in which corporate purpose is based on a fundamental commitment to all stakeholders — customers, employees, partners, communities, the planet, and society — rather than just shareholders.

Check out these highlights.

Quality Education

We believe equality starts with education. When students are engaged in learning they blaze trails towards a brighter future. Our public education investments, such as Circle the Schools and Australian Schools Plus, aim to help students thrive in tomorrow's workplace. We provide purpose-built technology for education to support learners from anywhere.

Gender Equality

It’s our responsibility to further Equality for All. We strive to create a workplace that reflects our diverse communities and empowers everyone to bring their full selves to work. We are committed to equal pay for equal work and conduct an annual pay assessment to adjust salaries. To elevate the conversation around gender equality, we host an annual Trailblazing Women Summit.

Affordable and
Clean Energy

Our commitment to 100% renewable energy means purchasing renewable energy credits equivalent to the amount of power we use in our global operations every year. It also means creating a future in which clean energy powers all the communities where we operate. Read our report More Than a Megawatt.

Decent Work and
Economic Growth

Salesforce is committed to workforce development through a set of diverse programs to ensure that everyone has access to the opportunities of the future by creating and supporting career pathways for all.

Salesforce Ventures is uniquely positioned to catalyze the growth of companies that are building products and solutions to benefit society. The Impact Fund invests in companies that drive positive societal impact by addressing challenges like workforce development.

Reduced Inequalities

Salesforce stands with the Black community against racism, violence, and hate — and for justice and equality. Our Racial Equality and Justice Task Force is taking action across four key areas: people, philanthropy, purchasing, and policy. The task force is composed of employees of all levels with related expertise to accelerate progress.

Climate Action

We are proud to deliver a carbon neutral cloud to all our customers through the purchase of carbon credits (Scope 1, 2, and 3). This includes emissions from employee commuting and business travel, our data center supply chain, and the impact of our customers using Salesforce on their personal devices. We are also committed to advocating for policies that set the geographies we operate in on a path to a low-carbon economy.

Life on Land

By mobilizing and supporting the conservation, restoration, and growth of 100 million trees by the end of 2030, we aim to help slow rising temperatures, as well as stimulate biodiversity and restore some of the planet’s ecosystem.

Partnerships for the Goals

As the world continues to change rapidly and solving the most pressing issues becomes more complex, we believe cross-sector sector collaboration is essential. Salesforce.org's Impact Labs is a collaborative space for the design and development of solutions to address the toughest problems facing nonprofits and educators. Impact Labs leverages expertise from employees, technology, partners and customers to co-design and co-innovate for scalable impact.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Our design, procurement, and sustainability teams work in close partnership to drive sustainable design and healthy material standards in all of our real estate spaces, as well as partner with suppliers to create sustainable products. Salesforce is committed to achieving LEED Platinum certification for our marquee and headquarters buildings. Likewise, given that many employees work from home, we’ve published a guide on how to do so sustainably.
