2050

2.1.1 Base year

2024

2.2 Near-term target

42% of absolute scope 1+2 emission reduction from my base year by 2030

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

Yes

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

8150 kwh

3.3 Renewable energy

0 kwh

Scope 1 emissions

3.4 Scope 1 emissions

1.18 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

15.1 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

A portion of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions is related to the heating and energy use of our current office location. We are actively exploring more sustainable office spaces or considering a transition to a fully remote setup. The remaining electricity-related emissions stem from business travel. We aim to increase the share of renewable electricity in our operations, either by switching to certified renewable sources or by obtaining Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs/ROCs).

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

Our environmental impact is calculated following the GHG protocol. The CO₂ emissions factors are based on the official Dutch national factors published on co2emissiefactoren.nl. The emission factors are derived from scientific research within the Netherlands and are representative of the Dutch situation. These studies are aligned with international standards and data sources, allowing most emission factors to be used internationally without significant deviations in total emissions.

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

Supply chain related - upstream emissions

Customer related - downstream emissions

4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?

4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?

4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.

We have conducted a LCA of our key SKU\\\'s and are planning to get a more detailed scope 3 analysis in next 2 years.

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

2024 is our base year and with these metrics and insights we can set quantified goals and targets. Sustainability is a key value: the gum’s compact form reduces transport emissions compared to traditional energy products, and we are working on eco-friendly packaging. With the insights of the Life Cycle Assessment and the CO2 footprint, we can set data driven goals and targets.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

Reducing scope 3 emissions,Limited control over energy use in buildings,Reducing emissions from business travel

7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?

Yes

The CO₂ footprint and life cycle assessment are conducted by Stripe Blue, an independent consultancy firm specialized in the food and beverage industry.
