Net Zero Cloud is sustainability software that helps companies manage all their environmental, social and governance initiatives and create disclosure reports in accordance with various frameworks and regulations. Built on the #1 AI CRM, it connects ESG data with every corner of your business — including your suppliers, partners and value chain — and automates reporting with Agentforce.
Reduce financial and compliance risk with automated ESG reporting while seizing opportunities to increase revenue, savings, investment and social and environmental impact. Manage all sustainability data in one platform and connect it with other apps, systems and suppliers for maximum returns.
Access framework-specific report builders for CSRD, SASB, GRI and CDP reports, with more to come as needed. Create reports in Microsoft Word with a Microsoft 365 plug-in, giving you a cleaner interface, complete with collaboration functionality, easier navigation and rich text support.
Let Agentforce write the first draught of your sustainability report. It can access and use the data in Net Zero Cloud to answer questions from the report builders. Since many of the questions are complex, Agentforce will also let you know what information is missing from each answer.
Emissions factor datasets are available for purchase from Net Zero Marketplace and are integrated directly into the platform, enabling automatic GHG emissions conversations by country.
Automatically convert energy data from utility bills, business travel, fleet data and more to carbon emissions according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This allows you to create an accurate, trusted environmental footprint for your organisation.
Simulate scenarios to forecast future emissions and measure progress against Net Zero goals. Net Zero Cloud helps you to visualise the impact of each environmental programme specific to your company, so you can make efficient, data-driven and sustainable decisions.
Compare programmes (e.g., installing solar panels) across three key metrics: emissions savings, marginal abatement costs and cumulative emissions savings. This allows you to prioritise programmes with the highest emissions reduction impact and the lowest financial cost.
See all of your emissions data in the Climate Action Dashboard. You can also view a summary of companywide travel emissions across air and ground travel and hotel stays. Water and waste management also have dedicated dashboards.
Automate social and governance data collection and track your organisational employee success metrics, such as employee headcount and representation of gender and minorities, in the Employee Dashboard.
Manage and measure upstream emissions data in the Scope 3 Emissions Hub. Allow subsidiaries, business units and franchisees to report on their real-time GHG emissions. Consolidate environmental data across business entities, so you can report on your entire value chain swiftly and easily.

Net Zero Cloud is sustainability software built on the world’s #1 AI CRM. It leverages the full power of the Salesforce ecosystem by pulling an organisation’s environmental, social and governance data into one place and creating actionable insights to guide strategic decisions. Net Zero Cloud aligns to the latest regulatory standards, offering framework-specific report builders as new mandates are released. It uses Agentforce to automate ESG reporting, integrating with other applications, finding relevant metrics and generating report responses, ultimately increasing efficiency and accuracy. With Net Zero Cloud, organisations can drive sustainable, equitable transformation for all stakeholders.
Net Zero Cloud is for all enterprises that have a mission and a responsibility to go Net Zero in the near future. Organisations in all stages of their sustainability journey can use Net Zero Cloud for everything from calculating an organisation’s carbon footprint to developing emission reduction strategies and reporting environmental, social and governance metrics to key stakeholders. Organisations in all industries and around the world will increasingly be required to report on and be accountable for their ESG metrics. Net Zero Cloud aims to help them be compliant with these ongoing regulations as well as achieve real impact for business, people and the planet.
Net Zero Cloud has robust environmental capabilities, spanning scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions, plus supplier engagement, carbon conversions and waste and water management. It also incorporates social and governance metrics. With Agentforce, Net Zero Cloud automates ESG reporting and aligns with current regulations and frameworks.
Yes. Organisations can track metrics from their entire value chain, including those from suppliers, distributors, subsidiaries, portfolios and franchisees — all directly in the Salesforce Net Zero Cloud platform.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, established in 2001, divides emissions into three reporting categories.
Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse emissions from sources controlled or owned by an organisation, such as emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces and vehicles.
Scope 2 covers indirect emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat or cooling.
Scope 3, also known as value chain emissions, has been the last frontier for most companies looking to shrink their carbon footprint. Scope 3 comprises the areas an enterprise has the least control over — emissions from activities and assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organisation, but that the organisation indirectly impacts in its value chain. Scope 3 emissions often represent the majority of an organisation’s total GHG emissions.
Carbon accounting is the process of calculating a company’s overall greenhouse gas emissions. Companies should calculate an initial emission benchmark and track reduction efforts across time (for example, annually).
For most organisations, calculating carbon emissions is just the first step. Since most corporate GHG emissions are closely linked with energy use, calculating GHG emissions can help to identify ways to reduce energy use, which also reduces costs.
There is a multistep process used to calculate GHG emissions. First, set organisational and operational boundaries. After which, collect data on electricity, fuels and other business activities that lead to emissions. Review this data for accuracy, completeness and assumptions used. Next, apply relevant emission factors, which represent GHG emissions per unit of activity. Finally, share your emissions footprint with stakeholders, develop an action plan and add third-party verification to ensure accuracy.
Identifying the assets that contribute the most carbon can help a company focus its reduction efforts, reach its goals faster and communicate results to key stakeholders.
Yes. Net Zero Cloud has report builders that walk you through reporting for both voluntary and required frameworks. So far, CDP, CSRD, GRI and SASB are supported. Report builders for California's climate disclosure laws are slated for later in 2024. As new regulations come to light, Net Zero Cloud will continue to add corresponding report builders to the platform.
ESG stands for environmental, social and governance. Together these three elements represent a set of standards used to evaluate an organisation's environmental and social impact.
ESG software helps organisations manage, measure and report on their ESG metrics. ESG software can help companies comply with ESG regulations and frameworks, increase transparency with stakeholders, improve efficiency, meet sustainability goals and more.
A framework helps guide understanding of a topic and the direction of ESG reporting. It does not provide a methodology for the collection of information, data or the reporting itself. Frameworks are used with ESG standards or in place of a well-defined standard.
In broad terms, the determination of which framework to follow is based on the size of your organisation, where your organisation is based and where your company does business. In general, CSRD applies to all large organisation either based in or doing business in the EU. California SB 253 and 261 regulations apply to organisations based in or doing business in California. "Doing business" includes paricipating in an organisation's supply chain. So, if your organisation supplies parts to another organisation that is either based in or does business in either of these areas, you should plan to prepare reports according to the corresponding frameworks.
Yes. California’s climate disclosure laws are several pieces of state legislation affecting climate disclosure within and beyond California’s borders. These laws — notably, California's Climate Accountability Package — impact thousands of companies.
Additionally, the Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed rules that have yet to pass. Finalisation will include a framework based in part on the TCFD (Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures). Net Zero Cloud will create a report builder that corresponds to the SEC framework when that framework becomes available.
