5.3 Our strategy in the context of climate opportunities Based on our climate risk assessment, our ongoing activities to mitigate climate risk and the results of our scenario analyses, we believe that the opportunities related to climate change have a greater potential to be material to our company than climate-related risks. We also believe that through the effective management of our climate-related opportunities we can help accelerate global climate action and decarbonization while reducing systemic and long-term climate-related risks posed to our company. Examples of our strategy in the context of climate opportunities are included below.

Effective Our sustainability initiatives have the potential to improve employee health, wellness, resilience, engagement, recruiting and retention. human capital Sustainable Built Environments for employee health and wellbeing management ● Our ability to attract and retain the best talent is critical for our continued success. Therefore, we strive to create spaces where employees feel empowered to do their best work and that have a lasting positive impact on our partners, customers, communities and the environment around us. Through our (short term) global Sustainable Built Environment Program, we have implemented intentional measures to reduce our environmental impact by delivering consistent sustainable-certified space in our offices. In addition, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we took actions to ensure that employees have the tools and knowledge to ensure that their home environment is also a sustainable and healthy workspace. To this end, we released our Sustainability at Home playbook in fiscal 2021. We also introduced benefits and policies to support our employees in emergency preparedness, reiterated our commitment to our flexible work policy, which allows for additional time off in the event of extreme weather events, and we expanded our home office allowance to include the purchase of home air filters. 15 | Salesforce TCFD Report
