Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Demandware, now integrated into Salesforce, has its environmental impact assessed under Salesforce's initiatives. Salesforce aims to significantly cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 and 90% by 2040 from 2018 levels. The company reported 2025 Scope 3 emissions at 972,000 metric tons (market-based). Salesforce requires its suppliers, representing $38 billion in spending, to set science-based emissions targets, targeting a 50% reduction by FY2031. While deforestation policies show 70-80% verified implementation, critics point to existing data gaps concerning water use and waste diversion. The overall assessment reflects efforts but acknowledges these limitations.
