Today, there's both excitement about the growth of the voluntary carbon market and concern about the quality of carbon credits and their ability to deliver on their intended benefits. While not perfect, carbon markets are vital for financing climate solutions. They’re not a standalone solution but should be part of a comprehensive climate strategy. Salesforce believes in our collective ability to mitigate the risks of carbon markets and seize their immense potential. Read more about our carbon credit strategy here.
This table details the portfolio of carbon credits Salesforce purchased for its residual Scope 1, 2 (market-based), and 3 emissions in FY23.
Forests are the lungs of our planet. That’s why we are a founding partner of the trillion trees initiative, 1t.org, a global movement to conserve, restore, and grow healthy forest ecosystems globally by 2030. As part of our commitment to 1t.org, Salesforce set a goal to help fund the conservation, restoration, or growth of an additional 100 million trees by the end of the decade, and we’re proud to have helped fund more than 46 million trees in three short years. You can track our progress here.
The Trillion Trees movement aims to secure an additional trillion trees in biodiverse forests through conservation, restoration, and growth — not just planting new ones.
Global forest destruction is alarming, with about 10 million hectares lost yearly. Urgent action is needed to prevent the loss of rainforests, like the Amazon, where 18% deforestation risks converting it into savanna. Scientific research highlights the potential of restoring 2.2 billion acres (900 million hectares) of degraded land by growing 1–1.2 trillion trees. Adding more trees can include trees in cities, on farms through agroforestry, and by restoring existing forests and forest landscapes.
We need all businesses to use not only their influence, but also their core competencies to rapidly innovate to tackle climate change.
