Salesforce Net Zero Cloud in Summer '26: Automated Carbon Accounting and Disclosure
Salesforce Net Zero Cloud updates in Summer '26 — automated data-filling rules to estimate energy use, GHG protocol alignment with market mechanisms on CO2e values, and a Disclosure and Compliance Hub discoverable via Salesforce Go.
Sustainability reporting is moving from voluntary to mandatory in more and more jurisdictions, and the data work behind it is enormous. Summer '26 helps sustainability teams automate carbon accounting and streamline disclosure in Net Zero Cloud. Here's what ESG and sustainability teams should know.
Reduce manual effort with automated data-filling rules
Carbon accounting is notorious for data gaps. Summer '26 lets you use automated data-filling rules to proactively estimate energy use for stationary assets — filling in missing data systematically instead of chasing it manually. For teams managing emissions across many facilities, automated estimation is the difference between a reporting process that scales and one that doesn't.
Align carbon accounting with global GHG protocols
You can better align your carbon accounting with global greenhouse gas (GHG) protocols by applying market mechanisms directly to total CO2e values. Applying market mechanisms (like renewable energy certificates or offsets) at the CO2e level keeps your accounting consistent with the frameworks regulators and stakeholders expect — which matters as scrutiny of sustainability claims intensifies.
Streamline disclosure with the Disclosure and Compliance Hub
Discover and set up the Disclosure and Compliance Hub — and other Net Zero features — from a single location in Setup using Salesforce Go. Disclosure is increasingly governed by formal frameworks and deadlines; a dedicated hub plus guided setup helps teams get compliant reporting stood up faster.
Why this matters
ESG reporting is becoming a compliance obligation, not a nice-to-have, and the underlying data challenge is real: incomplete energy data, complex protocols, and disclosure requirements that keep tightening. Net Zero Cloud in Summer '26 attacks all three — automated estimation for the data gaps, GHG protocol alignment for accuracy, and a Disclosure and Compliance Hub for the reporting itself.
Frequently asked questions
Can Net Zero Cloud estimate missing energy data? Yes. Automated data-filling rules proactively estimate energy use for stationary assets, reducing manual effort.
How does it align with GHG protocols? By letting you apply market mechanisms directly to total CO2e values, keeping carbon accounting consistent with global GHG protocols.
What is the Disclosure and Compliance Hub? A feature for managing sustainability disclosure and compliance, which you can discover and set up from a single location in Setup using Salesforce Go.
How do I set up Net Zero features? Through Salesforce Go, which provides a single guided location to discover and configure Net Zero capabilities.
The bottom line
Net Zero Cloud in Summer '26 makes carbon accounting and disclosure more automated and more aligned with the frameworks that matter. For sustainability teams facing mandatory reporting, automated data-filling and the Disclosure and Compliance Hub are the features that turn a manual scramble into a repeatable process.
