Understand your carbon footprint and drive climate action towards carbon neutrality

Climate change is affecting society, economies, and communities around the world. Many businesses consider the impact of their operations on climate change and identify it as one of the top risks to their growth.

While the majority wants to become carbon neutral and take meaningful action, they don’t fully understand how business activities impact the environment and their current carbon footprint. Some aren’t collecting the relevant environmental impact data, some outsource the sustainability report creation, and others are stuck in a manually intensive process, collating data in spreadsheets from multiple siloed systems.

“75% of Millennials expressed willingness to pay more for a product that is environmentally sustainable.”

“84% of supply chain leaders plan to invest in climate adaptation and mitigation measures in the next 18 months.”

Why Salesforce Net Zero Cloud

Salesforce Net Zero Cloud enables businesses to digitalize the way emissions data is collected from multiple sources with APIs & OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and automate carbon calculations from various organization assets with in-built datasets and emission factors to create a comprehensive 360-degree carbon footprint view. The data can be visualized with predefined reports and dashboards (audit, climate action, travel, etc.). The management team can analyze these reports to make intelligent decisions and prioritize the climate action programs.

Salesforce Net Zero Cloud enables organizations to:

Streamline sustainability data for organizational assets

Collect critical data about organizational assets (vehicles, buildings, machinery, etc.). Create Energy Use Records for consumption and accurate calculation of the carbon footprint by leveraging pre-loaded datasets from the EPA, IPCC, and more for Scope 1 (direct), Scope 2 (indirect), and Scope 3 (related) emissions.

Leverage in-built data models & platform capabilities

Create a 360-degree view of your carbon footprint on one platform with an inbuilt data model, carbon footprint workflow (asset confirmation, data collection, data gap filling, validation, renewable energy, internal audit, external audit), automation, notifications, and APIs for data collection for different sources.

Simplify audit reporting and view data-driven insights

Leverage out-of-the-box templates to offer regulatory agencies a snapshot of your energy usage patterns and emission trends. Dynamic data visualization and dashboards (climate action, travel, etc.) visualize all carbon emissions and enable decision-makers to drive sustainability solutions.

Our approach

Leveraging our Salesforce Net Zero Cloud understanding and consulting exercises conducted for a few of our global clients, we have devised a unique EDGE (Empathize – Define – Govern – Evaluate) approach to enable our partners to achieve carbon neutrality.

Empathize

  • Align with the customer vision on sustainability and carbon neutrality targets.
  • Set-up a sustainability team and identify relevant organizational assets, data sources, and data quality
  • Understand sustainability regulations related to the business operations
  • Identify the critical sustainability metrics along with reports and dashboards

Define

  • Collect various organizational assets, partner data, and data points
  • Capture energy Use Records and consumption data for assets
  • Identify data sets and define carbon footprint calculation for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions
  • Define the critical reports and dashboards to be created to track the sustainability metrics
  • Prioritize organizational assets and carbon emission components for MVP creation

Govern

  • Setup Salesforce Net Zero Cloud, along with profiles/permissions
  • Configure and customize relevant objects: Organization Assets, Energy Use Record, Carbon Footprint, Asset Contacts, Energy Contracts, and more
  • Setup process automation (approval processes, workflows, integrations, notifications) and an archival data strategy
  • Design reports and dashboards, including climate action dashboards, travel dashboards, and more

Evaluate

  • Provide training guides and videos to boost user adoption
  • Conduct UAT to ensure Net Zero Cloud works seamlessly
  • Production deployment and hyper care to ensure smooth platform usage
  • Track the key sustainability KPIs and scale the MVP as per the evolving business needs
