Today, as part of Earth Month, Salesforce announced a Nature Positive Strategy<\/a> outlining specific actions the company will take to accelerate its existing commitment to a net zero, nature positive future<\/a> rooted in people and climate justice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it\u2019s relevant:<\/strong> Governments made a global commitment<\/a> at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15)<\/a> to halt and reverse nature loss, including protecting 30% of the planet by 2030. There was also agreement on increasing private sector support for this effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking action for a nature positive future:<\/strong> With this news, Salesforce becomes one of the first global companies to establish a comprehensive Nature Positive Strategy. Building on the company\u2019s Climate Action Plan<\/a> and its 1t.org<\/a> efforts, the strategy focuses on:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Reducing impacts on nature: <\/strong>Salesforce will measure, manage, and develop an action plan to reduce its impacts and dependencies on nature across its value chain including data centers, offices, people, and products by 2025; and is already taking part in the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures<\/a>\u2019 pilot phase ahead of its launch later this year. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Leading on nature restoration at scale: <\/strong>Salesforce will continue to make investments and forge partnerships to protect and restore nature at scale, including supporting and mobilizing the conservation, restoration, and growth of 100 million trees by 2030<\/a> through 1t.org<\/a>, and accelerating the Mangrove Breakthrough<\/a> to restore and protect mangroves at scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Accelerating customer success and the nature positive movement: <\/strong>Salesforce will expand on solutions like Net <\/a>Zero Cloud<\/a> to help its customers accelerate their sustainability journeys. To further accelerate the movement, Salesforce will also advocate for policies, support ecopreneurs, and empower local and Indigenous communities through the UN\u2019s Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform<\/a>. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
