\u201cClimate change is one of the most pressing crises we face as a planet, and each one of us has a responsibility to help,” said Marc Benioff, CEO and Chair, Salesforce. \u201cI’m proud that Salesforce is one of the few companies to have achieved Net Zero and 100% renewable energy, but we can\u2019t stop until we embrace every solution and get every business on board. Together, we can sequester 100 gigatons of carbon by restoring, conserving or growing 1 trillion trees; energize an ecopreneur revolution to develop innovative climate solutions; and accelerate the Fortune 1000 to reach Net Zero.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate change impacts everyone and everything, and it disproportionately impacts the poorest and most vulnerable, amplifying global inequality,\u201d said Suzanne DiBianca, Chief Impact Officer and EVP of Corporate Relations at Salesforce. \u201cSustainability Cloud supercharged our path to Net Zero, and we\u2019re empowering customers with the transformational tools and trusted data they need to reduce their carbon emissions and take climate action.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability is essential to becoming a trusted enterprise. Customers want to do business with companies that are fully committed to climate action. In fact, 58% of people<\/a> are willing to spend more with businesses that fight climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salesforce is continuing to drive towards a 1.5\u00b0C future by focusing on six sustainability priorities: emissions reduction, carbon removal, trillion trees & ecosystem restoration, education & mobilization, innovation, and regulation & policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the company is releasing its Climate Action Plan<\/a> to offer a blueprint for others to accelerate their journey to Net Zero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need bold and urgent action if we are to deliver the promise of Paris and a healthier, cleaner, more resilient zero carbon world in time. Salesforce has shown significant leadership in climate action through their innovation, supply chain decarbonisation and policy advocacy work, and I encourage businesses around the world to step up now and join us in the Race to Zero emissions,\u201d said Nigel Topping, UN High Level Climate Champions for COP26.<\/p>\n\n\n
