Introduction to Net Zero Cloud

Net Zero Cloud gives you critical insights about your carbon footprint. By using global emissions factors to calculate greenhouse gas emissions, the app helps you to collect, categorize, analyze, and report energy usage data throughout your organization’s business activities.
Available in: Lightning Experience and the Salesforce mobile app
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

Net Zero Cloud streamlines the capture and auditing of your carbon (greenhouse gas) footprint data. The app solves many of the issues with traditional carbon accounting: incomplete or missing records, manual data tracking in multiple spreadsheets, and unstructured data. You can reduce data collection, calculation, and auditing activities that took months to weeks.

The application is preloaded with reference data from:

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  • US Energy Information Administration (EIA)
  • International Energy Agency (IEA)
  • UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol

The carbon inventory calculations are automated based on the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard. You no longer have to check calculation accuracy in spreadsheet-driven inventories.

Net Zero Cloud provides a logical workflow that is optimized for carbon footprinting. The app guides you from start to finish, from identifying assets to include in your carbon inventory, to reporting out data after an external audit.
