Editor’s note: This article was updated on April 5, 2023 to reflect the latest on sustainability at Salesforce.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eighty-two percent of the global workforce<\/a> wants to help their company operate more sustainably. But if you take a peek inside the org chart of most large businesses operating today, you\u2019ll likely only find one or maybe a handful of sustainability-focused titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s Salesforce. The company has a whole department devoted to environmental sustainability, and even hired tech\u2019s first oceans director<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"82%<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But Salesforce\u2019s commitment to climate action goes well beyond the sustainability team alone. In fact, no matter the department, no matter the job description, and no matter the level, everyone at Salesforce is working toward a separate and somewhat aspirational title: Chief Sustainability Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Everyone at Salesforce, whether you’re in Finance or any other part of the company, everyone needs to be a Chief Sustainability Officer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That sentiment was embraced by Joe Allanson, who in 2021 took on the brand-new role of Finance ESG, EVP after nearly two decades at Salesforce (he was employee #380) thanks to a create-your-own-role adventure that Marc Benioff, the company\u2019s Founder and Co-CEO, and Amy Weaver, Chief Financial Officer, put before him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this climate emergency, we need everyone to get to net zero as fast as possible. Salesforce has reached net zero today, we want to use our technology & best practices to help organizations reach their climate goals, too.\u201d \u2066@SuzanneDiBianca<\/a>\u2069 \u2764\ufe0f\ud83c\udf0e https:\/\/t.co\/mFDKePYV7m<\/a><\/p>— Marc Benioff (@Benioff) February 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
