Since the Earth Summit in 1992, sustainable development has been an increasingly prominent aspect of our societies. The Kyoto Protocol in 1997, the definition of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, later, the Paris Agreement in 2016 contributed to the definition of numerous objectives to ensure a sustainable future. The quest for carbon neutrality (Net Zero) has become a priority for both governments and companies. At the same time, sustainability is increasingly integrated with technological innovations, including digital tools like Net Zero Cloud, which help measure and manage an organization's environmental impact.

Climate change, biodiversity loss and social inequalities have made sustainability issues at the center of global decision-making. Therefore, currently Sustainability is more than an option, it is a strategic priority for organizations, whether public or private. ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria are increasingly a global standard for measuring the environmental, social and governance impact of companies, influencing investors, partners and consumers. In this sense, global measurement, analysis and reporting methodologies have been developed, defining transversal and global standards.

Why invest in reports?

Companies that understand their environmental data are better positioned to develop sustainable strategies and build trust with customers, investors and partners. On the journey to Net Zero, reporting capabilities are an essential ally to track, manage and advance sustainability efforts. 🌱

Tools like Salesforce Net Zero Cloud enable companies to efficiently measure, manage and report their carbon emissions. By integrating advanced data analytics and automated reporting capabilities, the platform aligns companies with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) requirements, helping them transparently monitor environmental impact. This alignment supports regulatory compliance and meets growing stakeholder expectations regarding sustainability.

In this way, we can say that Salesforce Net Zero Cloud accelerates progress towards carbon neutrality, offering practical information about emissions sources and reduction opportunities. Companies can set science-based goals, model future scenarios and monitor the effectiveness of their sustainability strategies, enabling a data-driven approach to achieving Net Zero goals.

2. Reporting for the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project):

- The CDP is a global organization that encourages companies to disclose environmental information to investors and stakeholders.

- With Net Zero Cloud, companies can generate standardized reports, responding directly to CDP disclosures.

3. Adherence to ESG Criteria:
