Our Workplace Decarbonization Strategy Sustainable Buildings For Salesforce, our buildings and spaces are a physical expression of our culture, where our employees feel empowered to do their best work and which have a lasting positive impact on our partners, customers, communities, and the environment Sustainable Built Environment Program around us. Through our global , we’ve implemented measures to reduce our environmental impact while delivering world-class space and looking for ways to innovate. Setting Standards: Design, Construction, Figure 3: Green Building Certifications vs. Operational Carbon Intensity and Certification Our workspaces are built to meet or exceed leading green building standards worldwide. We see green building certification as a driver for real estate project accountability, transparency, and sustainability. But our sustainable built environment strategy is much more than just a certification process; it’s a framework for delivering world-class, high- performing, low-carbon real estate. In fact, this certification strategy has been a key driver for our reduction in operational carbon intensity4 (see Figure 3). Additional operational carbon reduction strategies include prioritizing energy efficient fixtures, installing floor-level submetering to provide us with real-time data, and finding innovative solutions such as smart sensors and lighting control optimization to help us operate higher performing, more sustainable buildings. To continue driving improvements across our company, we have set a goal to increase energy efficiency 20% by 2030 compared to 2020. However, because we are tenants in the vast majority of the buildings we occupy, the most significant impact we can make is selecting the right buildings to begin with. Building Selection Strategy We prioritize sustainability from the very beginning of Salesforce’s real estate process by incorporating specific criteria as part green lease of the initial site search, prioritizing all-electric, green-certified buildings, and negotiating language for new and existing buildings that put the environment first. We put carbon impact at the forefront of building analysis and selection, using carbon as a key decision driver. To help our brokers understand our sustainability values, requirements, and preferences, we educate and train them on the latest industry trends. With ambitious sustainability targets to hit, our brokers and transactions managers play a crucial role in driving down carbon in our real estate. 4 Operational carbon intensity is a location-based measurement (excludes renewable energy purchases). 5 | Salesforce.com/sustainability
