Salesforce is committed to harnessing the company's culture of innovation to improve the state of the world and drive toward equality for all. Every individual, company, city and nation experiences the effects of climate change, which disproportionately impact many of the world's poorest regions and amplify global inequality. Since its founding, Salesforce set out to deliver value to customers in a new way—through the cloud. Salesforce's multi-tenant architecture is 50 times more energy- and carbon-efficient than traditional on-premise software, enabling Salesforce and its customers to avoid significant emissions over time—two million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2016.
