Salesforce.com to go carbon neutral in 2007 with a program they’re calling Earthforce. It looks like their plan is to offset their office, travel, and datacenter use of carbon by funding projects with Clean Air – Cool Planet, NativeEnergy, and Conservation International. Benioff said,

At the Salesforce.com Foundation, we have always been dedicated to social responsibility, and Earthforce is an important initiative to spearhead our efforts to help the environment. By offsetting our carbon footprint, we are moving further on the path toward sustainability and engaging our community in contributing to effective solutions for the climate crisis.

Bravo Salesforce.com in continuing to be a model corporate citizen.
Update: More details on Salesforce’s commitment to carbon neutrality up on their Foundation site.
