GLYNT.AI Launches Net Zero Hero

GLYNT.AI Launches Net Zero Hero for Salesforce Net Zero Cloud Net Zero Hero Sustainability Data + Net Zero Cloud GLYNT.AI, a leader in providing investor-grade sustainability data, has announced the launch of Net Zero Hero on the Salesforce AppExchange. This new offering enables sustainability and finance teams to access accurate, automated, and audit-ready data on energy, water, waste, and emissions, seamlessly integrated with Salesforce Net Zero Cloud. The service provides data within a week of implementation, with ongoing updates available daily, weekly, or monthly, all without requiring developer resources. Sustainability and finance teams often struggle with capturing, preparing, harmonizing, and validating key sustainability data. Traditionally, this data is buried in invoices and utility bills, making it difficult to extract and harmonize. Many companies rely on manual processes, such as spreadsheets, which can raise concerns during assurance and audit reviews and increase audit costs. There is also a growing pressure to manage sustainability data cost-effectively without expanding headcount. Net Zero Hero from GLYNT.AI addresses these challenges by providing SOC 1 compliant, audit-ready sustainability data. The service covers a wide range of input data, including landlord invoices, data center invoices, sub-billing, summary bills, renewables, utility site logins, vehicle ledgers, and direct emissions data. This comprehensive solution ensures that Salesforce Net Zero Cloud customers receive sustainability data that meets the rigorous standards of financial data preparation. GLYNT.AI leverages advanced AI technology to automate data preparation, drawing on years of experience in sustainability, finance, and data science. The system can deliver initial data in the first week, quickly scaling up to production-grade data services. This automation and customization result in significant cost savings, often exceeding 80% compared to traditional systems. Jeff Stienke, CEO of Third Eye Consulting, a leading Salesforce Summit Partner, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the benefits of automated systems and streamlined implementation. “Net Zero Hero breaks the data bottleneck, bringing costs down and simplifying the deployment of Net Zero Cloud. Our clients have been looking for the expertise in data, sustainability, and finance that GLYNT.AI provides,” Stienke said. Martha Amram, Ph.D., CEO of GLYNT.AI, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting Salesforce customers in achieving sustainability goals. “Salesforce has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, and we’re excited to add Net Zero Hero data services to Salesforce AppExchange. GLYNT.AI unlocks the sustainability data stream, so that every Salesforce customer can be a force for good, a Net Zero Hero. And looking ahead, we’ve built in audit-readiness and AI-readiness into the offering, delivering Trusted Data for Trusted AI.” GLYNT.AI offers three bundles for Net Zero Hero on the Salesforce AppExchange: A 30-day trial of Net Zero Hero is available, allowing businesses to see their data in Net Zero Cloud within the first week.

Contribute to Net Zero

How Everyone Can Contribute to a Net Zero Future The increasing frequency and unpredictability of extreme weather events highlight that climate change spares no part of the world. Addressing this crisis urgently requires smart, innovative solutions. Every organization, government, and individual has a role to play, asserts Linda Saunders, Salesforce’s Director of Solutions Engineering Africa. Contribute to Net Zero. Let’s face it, if you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the pollution! The Path to a Net Zero Future For companies, taking tangible climate action is crucial for maintaining their brand, reputation, and financial stability. Plus, who doesn’t want to be known as the eco-friendly company that saves the planet? To avoid the most severe impacts of climate change and meet critical climate goals for a 1.5-degree future, it is not enough to merely reduce emissions. We must also remove significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and oceans. Public and private sectors need to invest in scaling and deploying clean energy technologies, such as renewable energy, and support organizations leading the clean energy transition to ensure economic and environmental prosperity for all communities. Think of it as the ultimate “spring cleaning” for our planet! Land-based methods of carbon reduction include afforestation, reforestation, agricultural practices that sequester carbon in soils (carbon farming), bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), and direct air capture combined with storage. There are also CDR methods that use oceans and other water bodies. Salesforce has made three major climate investments to expedite a just energy transition. The company has joined Frontier, an advanced market commitment (AMC) to collectively purchase more than billion worth of permanent carbon removal by 2030. As part of this initiative, Salesforce has pledged million to accelerate, scale, and commercialize the most promising carbon removal technologies. Because sometimes, you’ve got to put your money where your mouth is—or in this case, where your carbon isn’t. Combining Long-Term Strategy with Short-Term Action The primary goal on the journey to net zero must be reducing emissions. Each organization should set a 1.5-degree target aligned with science-based goals, focusing on significantly reducing its absolute scope one, two, and three emissions. Achieving these targets requires long-term systemic changes, which take time to implement. So while you’re busy planning your eco-friendly future, you might as well start making a difference now. High-quality carbon credits, when properly made and used, can play a critical role in a comprehensive climate strategy. Businesses aiming for long-term emission reductions can supplement their efforts with high-quality carbon credits. Projects may include: Or as we like to call it, the environmental bingo card. Closing the Sustainability Talent Gap To achieve a net-zero future, all roles should integrate sustainability. We need a diverse workforce of qualified individuals, from carbon accountants to scientists to ecopreneurs. Imagine being able to introduce yourself as a “carbon wrangler” at your next party! Despite the pressure to meet ambitious climate goals, businesses face a severe shortage of sustainability talent. Upskilling existing workers who want to transition into sustainability careers can help fill hard-to-find roles and align employees’ work with their passions. Understanding Personal and Corporate Sustainability As sustainability remains a priority for stakeholders, business leaders must combine short-term solutions with long-term operational changes. By re-evaluating how to create, hire, and retain sustainability roles and providing the necessary tools and training, companies can ensure everyone contributes to the movement towards a net zero future. After all, saving the planet isn’t just a job—it’s an adventure! Like Related Posts Who is Salesforce? Who is Salesforce? Here is their story in their own words.
