To become sustainable is not a ‘nice to have’. It is a must. Climate is changing, and we must protect our planet. In this article, I’ll explain how Salesforce Net Zero Cloud can help organisations collect, track and analyse environmental data to gain insights on how to decrease their carbon footprint.  

Sustainability goals 

Companies are forced to track and measure their environmental goals. The primary tool to do so is an Excel spreadsheet, but it is neither professional nor adequate. It is very time-consuming or sometimes impossible to make the whole computation using simple spreadsheets. There is no comprehensive and consolidated view of the targets versus actuals. Therefore, companies may struggle with measuring their carbon footprint.   

Salesforce approach 

Salesforce is a great company. They use the tools they sell to the clients. This is the case for Net Zero Cloud. Launched in December 2021, formerly known as Sustainability Cloud.  

Net Zero helps companies integrate, track, and analyse environmental data. Moreover, it gives several predefined reports and dashboards that can be used for audit purposes and executive engagement. It becomes a single source of truth regarding all the environmental data and carbon footprint. Companies can easily track their travel data, supply chain impact, etc., and make a plan to drive towards net-zero goals.  

Our approach 

The Salesforce team at Spyrosoft experiments with NetZero Cloud and creates many different assets. One of them is an application that encourages employees to save their carbon footprint by not using cars when travelling to an office. The app integrates Salesforce with Strava and shows savings in the dedicated Lighting Web Component.   

How can we help 

Net Zero Cloud was created on top of Salesforce CRM. It can be easily customised/configured according to the client’s need as not every company is the same, and not every company has the same journey to become sustainable.  

At Spyrosoft, we fully understand how it works. This is why we offer you discovery workshops to understand your plan and how Salesforce can help you with that. Do not hesitate to contact us to get more details.

FAQ

Salesforce Net Zero Cloud is a sustainability management platform that helps organisations track emissions, understand their environmental impact and manage climate-related data in one place. It replaces fragmented spreadsheets with a single, auditable system that supports transparent reporting.

The platform allows teams to collect data from multiple business units, automate calculations and gain clearer visibility into Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. This helps organisations make informed decisions about reduction strategies and align sustainability targets with operational realities.

Reliable data enables businesses to set realistic goals, meet regulatory expectations and communicate progress with confidence. Without accurate information, it is difficult to prioritise initiatives or measure the effectiveness of environmental programmes.

Teams need skills in data modelling, integration and reporting, along with a solid understanding of environmental frameworks. According to Spyrosoft, cross-functional cooperation between sustainability leads and Salesforce specialists helps ensure that data flows and dashboards remain accurate and actionable.

They can review data completeness, reporting accuracy, internal adoption and the clarity of insights used for decision-making. A well-implemented solution supports credible disclosures, stronger planning and a more structured approach to achieving sustainability goals.
