Insights into Salesforce's Greenhouse Gas Emissions Pathways
As of 2025, Salesforce has set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets that cover both its operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and value chain emissions (Scope 3), offering a comprehensive view of its total carbon footprint.
Does Salesforce have a target to reduce the emissions from its operations?
As of 2025, Salesforce has set a target to reduce its operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically those from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources.
Salesforce's most ambitious operational target is to reduce these emissions by 90% by 2041, compared to a baseline of 187,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2025, Salesforce is ahead of schedule on its operational emissions reduction target, having achieved 61.2% of the planned reduction.
Salesforce's Operational (Scope 1+2) Emissions Pathway
Does Salesforce have a target to reduce the emissions from its value chain?
As of 2025, Salesforce has set a target to reduce its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, covering 1 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.
Salesforce's most ambitious value chain target is to reduce these emissions by 50% by 2031, compared to a baseline of 48,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019.
As of 2024, Salesforce is ahead of schedule on its value chain emissions reduction target, having achieved 54.16% of the planned reduction.
Salesforce's Value Chain (Scope 3) Emissions Pathway
Does Salesforce have a target to reduce its total carbon footprint?
As of 2025, Salesforce has set a target to reduce its total carbon footprint, specifically those from Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 sources.
Salesforce's most ambitious carbon footprint target is to reduce its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from a baseline of 1,272,000 Metric Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (mtCO2e) in 2019, by 90% by 2041.
Instead of reducing total carbon footprint, Salesforce has increased them, with 2024 levels exceeding those of the 2019 baseline, placing the company well behind its reduction target.
