ESG reporting can be complex and time-consuming without the right tools. This is where Salesforce Net Zero Cloud comes in. It’s an ESG data and reporting platform that helps businesses centralize all their sustainability information, automate compliance, and forecast future emissions.

Core Features
1. Climate Action Dashboard: One Place for All ESG Data
Instead of tracking ESG data (e.g. carbon emissions, energy consumption, etc.) in spreadsheets and separate systems, Net Zero Cloud centralizes everything in one dashboard.
What it does:
Provides an overview of total carbon emissions (broken down by Scope 1, 2, and 3)
Shows emissions by country, region, and business unit
Compares year-over-year sustainability performance
2. AI-Powered ESG Reporting
Manually compiling ESG reports can take weeks. Net Zero Cloud automates this process using Agentforce AI.
What it does:
Uses AI to generate first drafts of sustainability reports
Aligns reports with regulations like CSRD, GRI, SASB, and CDP
Identifies missing data and suggests what to include
3. Carbon Accounting and Emissions Tracking
Many businesses struggle with calculating their carbon footprint, especially for Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions from suppliers).
What it does:
Uses verified emissions factors, such as data from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Converts energy data (fuel, electricity, business travel) into CO2 emissions
4. Supplier and Value Chain Emissions Tracking
A company’s emissions don't just come from its own operations—suppliers, subsidiaries, and business partners also contribute.
What it does:
Tracks supplier emissions and sustainability performance
Helps subsidiaries and franchises report their real-time emissions
Consolidates all emissions data across the supply chain
5. Sustainability Forecasting and Scenario Planning
Net Zero Cloud helps businesses plan for the future by simulating different sustainability strategies.
What it does:
What-If Analysis: Tests different sustainability plans (e.g., switching to solar energy, reducing travel)
Program Analysis: Compares cost vs. impact of green initiatives
Investment Efficiency: Helps businesses prioritize high-impact sustainability projects
Integrations
Net Zero Cloud integrates with other Salesforce tools to expand its ESG capabilities.
MuleSoft – Connects Net Zero Cloud with external ESG data sources
Experience Cloud – Allows subsidiaries and franchises to report sustainability data
CRM Analytics – Provides custom sustainability dashboards
Field Service – Integrates fleet and logistics data for emissions tracking
Net Zero Cloud also connects with third-party sustainability and risk management apps, including Riskonnect, CSR Hub, and SpecRight.
How is Net Zero Cloud Different from Other ESG Platforms?
Covers all ESG aspects – Tracks not just carbon emissions but also social and governance metrics

Case study: TELUS
The Challenge
TELUS, a major Canadian technology and telecommunications company, is working toward carbon neutrality by 2030. As part of this goal, the company faces challenges in emissions tracking, particularly Scope 3 emissions, which come from its supply chain and downstream operations. These indirect emissions make up the majority of TELUS' total carbon footprint, exceeding three million tonnes per year, compared to its Scope 1 and 2 emissions of 253,000 tonnes. Accurately capturing and reporting these emissions is critical, as regulatory requirements and stakeholder expectations continue to rise.
Why It Matters
Scope 3 emissions are among the most difficult to track because they involve data from third parties, such as suppliers and distribution channels. This data is often spread across different systems, making it challenging to consolidate and report. However, understanding Scope 3 emissions is crucial for achieving science-based carbon reduction targets and ensuring compliance with sustainability frameworks.
The Solution
To overcome these challenges, TELUS implemented Salesforce Net Zero Cloud to streamline its carbon accounting process. The platform pulls more than 300,000 records annually from various internal and external sources, consolidating emissions data related to fuel usage, power consumption, remote operations, and environmental compliance. By using real-time data aggregation and automated reporting, TELUS can easily track emissions, identify trends, and pinpoint areas for improvement.
"Net Zero Cloud offers a consistent approach and calculation for everything, so we know we’re accurate and transparent with our stakeholders. We’re also able to plan and execute on our climate action goals much more effectively.”
— Terry Hickey, Sr. Sustainability Strategy Manager, TELUS
The Results
Data Transparency & Accuracy: Net Zero Cloud provides TELUS with a centralized dashboard for sustainability reporting, reducing calculation discrepancies and improving data accuracy.
Improved Reporting Efficiency: Automating emissions data collection has enabled TELUS to generate investor-grade carbon accounting reports quickly and reliably.
Stronger Climate Action Planning: With Net Zero Cloud’s data-driven insights, TELUS can better plan and execute its climate strategy, ensuring it stays on track to meet its 2030 carbon neutrality goal.
