Our Workplace Decarbonization Strategy At Salesforce, we are committed to enabling a distributed, Figure 2: Flex Workspace Emissions Reductions2 flexible workforce even after the pandemic. We’ve calculated that this strategy will reduce emissions per employee by 29% (see Figure 2). While home emissions will increase due to the additional energy required to support remote work, reductions in office energy emissions and commute emissions outweigh anticipated home increases. Digital Shifting to a distributed work model, powered by a HQ , will allow other businesses to achieve similar reductions. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for every company to reinvent themselves and make work more flexible, inclusive, and productive. There could not be a more exciting time for Salesforce and Slack to come together to help every company find success in this new Stewart Butterfield digital-first world.” CEOand Co-Founder of Slack Sustainability at Home We’ve always had a strong work-from-home population as part of our Salesforce@Home Program, but the pandemic provided an opportunity to enhance our home sustainability strategy. In September 2020, we released the Sustainability at Home guide to suggest how employees could make their homes more comfortable, productive, and sustainable. In it, we share actionable ways employees can improve workspaces and the planet. While our office- and commute-related emissions significantly decreased during the pandemic, we know that emissions increased elsewhere as our employees shifted to working from home. To better understand the carbon footprint of working from home, we estimated the increase in employee home energy consumption through a survey conducted in February Net Zero 2021. As part of our commitment, we are developing carbon reduction programs for the home energy emissions measured in the survey. After reduction options are exhausted, we will compensate for remaining emissions by investing in high-quality carbon credits. Moving forward, we will continue to measure (and offset3) home energy emissions based on learning from further annual surveys. 2 Salesforce Stakeholder Impact Report 3 We follow a robust due diligence process to vet carbon credits before we procure them. For every potential carbon credit purchase, we apply a set of detailed criteria that are based on global best practices. We also work with qualified independent consultants and expert brokers to help guide us. 4 | Salesforce.com/sustainability
