That’s the same amount emitted by 17,500 homes over the course of an entire year; it would take more than 178,000 acres of forest 12 months to sequester that carbon dioxide. Even as Salesforce worked to reduce its overall carbon footprint, its business travel emissions were rapidly increasing up nearly 18% from 2017.  In 2020, everything changed: The company’s total business travel emissions dropped 86% to just 20,000 metric tons, according to its fiscal year 2021 stakeholder impact report. What had changed, of course, was the sudden halting of all travel due to COVID-19. (Salesforce’s 2021 fiscal year covers February 2020 to January 2021.)
