Sustainable IT and Clean Code
Sustainable IT isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsibility we all share. With technology’s growing footprint, it’s vital to be conscious of the environmental impact of our digital activities. At its core, sustainable IT means using resources efficiently, reducing waste, and adopting practices that cut down energy consumption to help safeguard the planet.
How Salesforce Technology Contributes
Salesforce provides several features that support sustainability:
- Cloud Infrastructure
By leveraging the cloud, Salesforce reduces the need for physical servers and data centers, which typically consume huge amounts of energy. This shift enables more efficient use of resources and seamless scalability. - Energy-Efficient Data Centers
Salesforce commits to energy-efficient data centers powered by renewable energy. This approach directly lowers the carbon footprint of its operations. - Sustainability Tracking Tools
With solutions like Salesforce Sustainability Cloud, organizations can actively measure and manage their environmental impact, driving positive change from within. - Automation and Resource Efficiency
Salesforce’s automation tools streamline workflows, cutting down manual processes and saving energy in the process.
