Heroku, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Salesforce, Inc.

Heroku, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Salesforce, Inc., and thus inherits its climate commitments and initiatives from its parent organisation. Heroku's climate strategy is aligned with the initiatives of Salesforce, which has set ambitious targets for carbon reduction. These include commitments to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Salesforce aims to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2040, which influences Heroku's climate commitments through their corporate relationship. While specific reduction targets for Heroku are not detailed, the overarching goals from Salesforce suggest a strong commitment to sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. This includes initiatives such as the RE100, which focuses on 100% renewable energy, and the Race to Zero campaign, both of which are cascaded to Heroku. In summary, while Heroku, Inc. does not provide specific emissions data or reduction targets, it is committed to sustainability through its affiliation with Salesforce, which has established significant climate initiatives and targets.
