16、n which we live and work.As we celebrate the 20th anniversary of Salesforce,we want to thank you all our stakeholders for being part of this incredible journey.When Salesforce was founded in 1999,we started with a vision for a different kind of company one that would change the way the world does bu
17、siness and,at the same time,improve the state of the world.To turn our vision into reality,we embraced our core values Trust,Customer Success,Innovation,and the Equality of every human being,and we created a new model of integrated corporate philanthropy guided by our conviction that companies can b
18、e the greatest platform for change.This year,we once again proved that companies can do well as they do good.Globally,we continued to stand up for the rights of our LGBTQ employees around the world,and we have now spent a total of$10.3 million to ensure that our employees men and women receive equal
19、 pay for equal work.Trailhead,our free online learning platform for everyone,has now helped more than 1.2 million people develop the skills they need to succeed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.As a host of the Global Climate Action Summit,we announced that Salesforce partnered with Mission 2020
20、to create the Step Up Declaration,a new alliance that aims to decarbonize our economy,including the tech sector.In fact,Salesforce is now more than halfway toward our goal of reaching 100 percent renewable energy by 2022.With our pioneering philanthropy model,weve given$260 million in grants,nearly
21、four million employee volunteer hours,and 40,000 nonprofits and education institutions use our software for free or at a discount.Around the world,more than 8,500 companies have followed our lead and signed up to Pledge 1%of their time,equity,profit,and product to strengthen their communities.During
22、 Dreamforce,we announced our largest donation ever to public schools totaling more than$50 million to San Francisco and Oakland public schools and raised$10 million for UCSF Benioff Childrens Hospital.As we expanded our presence in London and Dublin this year,we invested$2 million in local education
23、 and in workforce development organizations to further our mission of ensuring everyone has equal access to opportunities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.With strong support from Salesforce,the passage of Proposition C in San Francisco will now generate major new resources to reduce the tragedy
24、of homelessness in our hometown.Our commitment to improving the state of the world is one of the reasons that Fortune has recognized Salesforce as one of the Worlds Best Companies to Work For for 11 years in a row,one of the Worlds Most Admired Companies for seven years in a row,and one of the Chang
25、e the World Companies for three years in a row.None of this would have been possible without your partnership.We are deeply grateful for your support over the last 20 years.We look forward to working with you in the years ahead to build a world thats more equitable,more prosperous and more sustainab
26、le for generations to come.Thank you,Marc Benioff&Keith Block Co-CEOs SalesforceINTRODUCTION from Marc Benioff&Keith BlockMarc Benioff Chairman and CEO,SalesforceKeith Block Chairman and CEO,Salesforce4|IntroductionAs President and CFO,I focus on ensuring that Salesforce delivers long-term value to
27、stakeholders.Historically,business value creation has been narrowly focused on top-line growth,the financial bottom line,and quarterly earnings.While those are certainly important performance indicators,there is more to address to fully capture the true potential of business to catalyze positive cha
28、nge and create long-term value for all stakeholders.At Salesforce,we believe a healthy society and environment are necessary to drive true long-term value creation.And as corporate leaders,we must hold ourselves accountable to a broader set of stakeholders:our customers,our employees,our partners,ou
29、r communities,the environment,and our shareholders.Thats why Salesforce is committed to creating a sustainable,low-carbon future,advancing equality,and fostering customer and employee success.These goals align with Salesforces long-term growth strategy and financial and operational priorities.Compan
30、ies want to do business with us and employees want to work for us because they align with our values the first and foremost of which is trust.We enhance the trust of our stakeholders by transparently disclosing our environment,social,and governance(ESG)initiatives and metrics.Salesforce discloses ES
31、G initiatives and metrics in this report,as well as in our annual financial filings with the SEC.This includes an ESG section in our 10-K and sustainability,equality,and philanthropy content in our proxy statement.At the Finance for the Future Awards in October 2018,we were thrilled to be recognized
32、 for these efforts by winning the“Communicating Integrated Thinking”award.Integrating ESG initiatives is no longer the“right thing to do”it is a business imperative.Companies must understand the critical importance of these issues in creating long-term value.Leadership is about creating a multiplier
33、 effect.And our world needs leadership.I am excited to be part of the Accounting for Sustainability CFO network and look forward to helping establish the U.S.chapter in 2019.As we look to the future,Salesforce,and I,continue to believe business is the greatest platform for change.Our work is never o
34、ver.It is time to rethink the way we do business and encourage our employees,executive leadership,boards,and investors to ensure theyre serving all stakeholders.Sincerely,Mark HawkinsPresident and CFO SalesforceMark Hawkins President and CFO,SalesforceAppeal to Stakeholders from Mark Hawkins5|Introd
35、uction6|Introduction Over the past year we have seen an increasing amount of scientific research on the severity of climate change,the beneficial effects corporate philanthropy has on the world,the growing statistics on the positive return of impact investing,and the need to bridge the skills gap in
36、 the Fourth Industrial Revolution.Now more than ever there is an increasing demand for every individual,institution,government,community,and corporation to step up and address these challenges and opportunities in their communities,and the environment.At Salesforce we believe that business is a powe
37、rful and trusted platform to drive positive social and environmental impact for all stakeholders.We began as a different kind of company,focused on integrating philanthropy into our DNA with the 1-1-1 model.In 2014 we evolved that model through Pledge 1%and have since seen the impact a shared integr
38、ated philanthropy model can have on our world,regardless of company size.In FY19 Pledge 1%hit major milestones over 8,500 companies signed the pledge in 100 countries,and donated more than$1 billion dollars in volunteer hours,product licenses,pro bono resources,and philanthropic funding.As the effec
39、ts of climate change worsen,we continue our commitment to protect the environment.Last year we partnered with Mission 2020 to establish the Step Up Declaration,an example of how a vision by two organizations can spark an alliance of more than 20 businesses to drive urgent change.In FY19 we also anno
40、unced an all-new renewable energy deal in collaboration with incredible partners and customers.This not only helped get us a step closer to our goal of reaching 100%renewable energy by 2022,but also enables those just starting their renewable energy journey to pilot similar projects to meet their cl
41、imate goals.Finally,we want to ensure this digital revolution makes a positive impact on society and benefits all citizens.Through our Impact Fund,we invest in diverse,world-class entrepreneurs who are solving some of the worlds greatest challenges.I am proud to share that last year 65%of founders a
42、nd/or CEOs of the portfolio companies in the fund are women or minorities,and over 900 jobs were created at those companies.I am proud to see what we have achieved over the past year together.Were on a mission to drive urgent action;we are leading by example and sharing our learnings in hopes that o
43、thers will join us on our journey to improve the state of the world.Thanks,Suzanne DiBiancaEVP,Corporate Relations and Chief Impact Officer SalesforceCall to Action from Suzanne DiBianca Suzanne DiBianca EVP,Corporate Relations and Chief Impact Officer,Salesforce7|IntroductionReporting Scope and Met

51、net-zero greenhouse gases claim.Ernst&Young LLPs Review Report is included on pages 5861 of this report.We continually refine our greenhouse gas accounting processes.When new or better-quality data becomes available,we update our footprint data accordingly.We assess climate-related risk at least eve

53、n alignment with our companywide process.Based on Salesforces enterprise risk management(ERM)methodology and current business model,the transition and physical risks have all been deemed as“very low”risks.Despite this,we have a specific climate change risk management process related to data center a
54、nd office site selection that occurs each time we open a new facility,which can occur more often than every six months.In addition,we have practices in place to reduce our GHG emissions,mitigating most of the other identified risks.We plan to revisit these transition and physical risks annually as t

88、ommunity activists to support Prop C.This initiative was resoundingly approved by residents on the November 2018 ballot.Prop C creates a tax to fund the development of more housing and services for the citys homeless and housing insecure.The tax only applies to San Franciscos largest businesses thos
89、e that make more than$50 million in annual gross receipts.The tax will raise$300 million a year for the city to address homelessness.Salesforce was the only major company to support Prop C,and our engagement made a significant difference in the outcome of the campaign.Salesforce made substantial dir

95、Salesforce will work with suppliers responsible for half of our total supplier-related emissions to set their own emissions reduction targets.Supplier Diversity We believe that partnering with small businesses and diverse suppliers is not just the right thing to do;it is smart business.We recognize
96、diverse suppliers as businesses that are 51%owned and operated by at least one of the following:minorities as defined by the country where the business was established;women;veterans;service-disabled veterans;persons who are lesbian,gay,bisexual,or transgender;or persons with a disability.In FY19,we
97、 implemented a new potential supplier registration portal,allowing us to collect deeper data on interested suppliers to get a more holistic understanding of their business and leadership.We work with industry leaders and organizations that are shifting the standards of supplier diversity.In FY19,we
98、joined the National Minority Supplier Development Council(NMSDC),National LGBT Chamber of Commerce(NGLCC),Womens Business Enterprise Council(WBENC),and the Technology Industry Group(TIG)to continue learning and supporting supplier diversity.In October 2018,Salesforce was a sponsor of the TIG Tech Hu

102、our key objectives is monitoring social and environmental performance in our supplier management process,and encouraging our suppliers to share in our values.In FY19,we kicked off this dialogue with a webinar with some of our top suppliers to set expectations,held a training with our sourcing organi

245、community for underrepresented groups and their allies,offer professional development and mentoring opportunities,and empower employees to be responsive equality leaders in their community.We also have an executive sponsor program for our Ohana Groups,through which our leaders partner with individua
246、l Ohana Groups to help elevate the voices within each community,champion their initiatives,and speak up on their behalf when needed.We are fostering a culture of allies where every employee asks,listens,shows up,and speaks up for one another.This has resulted in nearly half of our employees being an
247、 Ohana Group member.In FY19,the Office of Equality convened all Ohana Group leaders for the first Global Ohana Summit to empower,inspire,and invest in our Global Ohana leaders and allies through FY19.The summit was a three-part training,development,and recognition program across the globe that aimed
248、 to empower our next generation of leaders at Salesforce.Salesforce has 12 official Ohana Groups:Abilityforce,Asiapacforce,BOLDforce,Earthforce,Faithforce,Latinoforce,Outforce,Womens Network,Southasiaforce,Vetforce,and our newest WINDforce(Worldwide Indigenous Network of Diversity)and Genforce.Read
