Key Sustainability Terms
- Carbon accounting – A way of measuring how much greenhouse gas an organization emits.
- Carbon credit – Represents the avoidance, reduction, or removal of emissions of greenhouse gasses in order to compensate for emissions made elsewhere. It’s measured in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent.
- Greenhouse gas(GHG) – Atmospheric gases that trap heat.
- Scope 1 GHG emissions – Direct GHG emissions from assets that an organization owns or operationally controls
- Scope 2 GHG emissions – Indirect emissions from the use of purchased or acquired electricity, steam, heat, or cooling that an organization consumes
- Scope 3 GHG emissions – Emissions from sources owned or controlled by other entities in the organization’s value chain that are excluded from scope 1 and 2 emissions. Scope 3 emissions are organized into 15 distinct categories
- tCO2e – Metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, standard unit for counting GHG emissions
Carbon credits, purchased through carbon markets, represent the avoidance, reduction, or removal of GHG in order to compensate for emissions created elsewhere.
1 Carbon Credit = 1 tonne of CO2 or equivalent GHG reduced or avoided
Net Zero Marketplace, powered by Salesforce Commerce Cloud, is a climate action hub for everyone. And it’s a site where organizations can find and purchase carbon credits offered by ecopreneurs.
The Greenhouse Gas Protocol – The GHG Protocol provides standards, guidance, tools, and training for businesses, government entities to measure and manage climate-warming emissions.
The GHG Protocol is an organization formed by a partnership between the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).

5.2 Getting Started with Business Requirements, Data, and Reporting

Energy use records are used to:
- Enter energy consumption values.
- Calculate scope 1, scope 2, and scope 3 emissions and other energy use metrics based on user-entered energy consumption.
- Determine the calculations performed within the energy use record based on the record type.
- Roll up to carbon footprint records.
The Net Zero Cloud 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

5.3 Manage Sustainability Data

Map Record Types
Reference Datasets – Net Zero Cloud uses reference datasets from government sources and other agencies, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), to calculate a business’s energy consumption and activity data as greenhouse gas emissions based on standard global emissions factors.
