Salesforce Sustainability Cloud to help customers drive climate action

Salesforce, the global player in CRM, has announced Salesforce Sustainability Cloud, a carbon accounting product for businesses to drive climate action that will accelerate the world’s efforts towards carbon neutrality, said the firm. With the new product, businesses now have a trusted sustainability platform that gives them a 360-degree view of their environmental impact and provides data-driven insights to make changes the planet will notice.

The company is committed to delivering a sustainable, low-carbon future and supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which help frame the company’s global strategy and technology innovations.

Salesforce Sustainability Cloud enables businesses to quickly track, analyse and report reliable environmental data to help them reduce their carbon emissions. A company’s carbon data is easily surfaced in Einstein Analytics, which creates dynamic reports and dashboards—both for audit purposes and for executive engagement—with insights that empower businesses to drive climate action programs at scale.

“We’ve always believed business is the greatest platform for change. Addressing climate change with speed and at scale is critical to see a turning point by 2020,” said Suzanne DiBianca, Chief Impact Officer and EVP of Corporate Relations at Salesforce. “Businesses must work together to be the greatest force for climate transformation the world has ever seen.”

“We created Salesforce Sustainability Cloud to help our customers easily generate trusted investor-grade data to inform their climate action programs,” said Patrick Flynn, Vice President of Sustainability at Salesforce. “Climate change is the biggest, most important and most complex challenge humans have ever faced, and we all have a role to play based on our resources to deliver a healthier planet for future generations.”

The new product is expected to become generally available in December 2019.
