Salesforce scores 50/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Salesforce joint 142nd of 809 companies scored, and 22nd of 75 in SaaS / Digital Services.
Salesforce claims net-zero ambitions while quietly downgrading absolute Scope 3 targets to intensity metrics—a weakening move that undermines credibility. Absolute emissions remain flat over six years despite growth. Renewable energy claims rely heavily on unbundled RECs rather than physical clean power. The company operates through trade associations opposing climate policy.

With ~35,000 employees and $37.9 billion in FY2024 revenue, it ranks among the largest SaaS vendors.
