# Salesforce

## Profile
An enterprise-software company (canonical: salesforce.com).

## Role in the source
Cited as a company that has **operationalized energy visibility** through its **Sustainable AI framework**, which reports carbon and energy metrics at the workload level to inform model selection and surface hidden inefficiencies. Salesforce has also embedded sustainability metrics directly into its AI development process — a live proof point for [[action-make-energy-visible]] and the [[concept-intelligence-per-watt]] metric.
