We have a 5% reduction per annum target for our scope 1 and 2 emissions to ensure a consistent strategy rather than a last second scramble. Energy efficiency in our printing department is measured by sheets of paper used per unit of electricity, with a goal to increase efficiency by 5% per annum. A strategy is in development for measuring efficiency in our signage department, which will likely require the acquisition of smart meters as the processes in this department are inconsistent, meaning a metric similar to that in the printing department would not be applicable. Goals and targets developed in iSupply are made in alignment with the UN SDGs, with a full SDG alignment strategy being developed for the year of 2025. Solar PV arrays were deployed on-site in June 2024, meaning we will receive ~33% of our energy from carbon neutral micro-gen per annum going forward. A scope 3 emissions strategy is in development and will hopefully be fully fleshed out and deployed by end of Q1 2025. We are already in constant communication with our suppliers regarding eco-friendly products and requesting product data sheets for new product ranges. Being engaged in an innovation boost project, we are actively engaging with organisations who are attempting to scale up eco-friendly solutions for the sector, such as Algae Ink Technologies in the US, and are also developing a potential business model for a circular signage solution for Ireland. We currently have the capacity to provide a product passport for our products which factors in the emissions directly associated with material itself. We intend to evolve this passport to factor in transport and processing in-house also. We take a strong sustainability approach to emission reduction, working to minimise our own contribution rather than offsetting. There are currently a significant amount of emissions associated with the sector which are unavoidable or financially infeasible to internalise, requiring a reliance on weak sustainability strategies in the short term. At iSupply we advocate for these solutions in the short term only, allowing for positive environmental impacts through substitution while longer term solutions continue to scale up. We are working with the World Land Trust in a carbon balanced paper initiative for our clients who wish to offset the currently unavoidable emissions of their products.

Scope 3 emission figures for 2024 have not been recorded at a level that is sufficient for this report. Scope 3 emissions for 2024 will be reported on in the coming months. The methodology used for recording baseline scope 3 emissions is unclear and the individual who deployed the method is not available for contact. Therefore a new strategy for measuring scope 3 emissions is required which may lead to a re-measurement of our baseline figures for accurate comparisons and suitable goal development.

Yes - we have identified both climate risks and opportunities

iSupply has made significant progress this year towards our Scope 1 and 2 emission reductions targets. Scope 1: 20.6% reduction on baseline - meeting target for this year Scope 2: - Location-based: 40.6% reduction on baseline - far exceeding target for this year. - Market-based: 73.9% reduction on baseline - Significantly exceeded 2030 goal Scope 1 & 2 - Location-based: 36% reduction on baseline - On target for 2030 target - Market-based: 57.1% reduction on baseline - 2030 target exceeded This year also saw iSupply hiring a full-time sustainability officer, highlighting the continued dedication to growing in line with the principles of sustainable development. We passed our ISO 14001 surveillance audit with zero non-conformities or opportunities for improvement identified. We aim to build on this over the coming years, and become Ireland\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s premier sustainable printing partner. Given the success of our performance relating to scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2024, significantly greater emphasis will be placed on identifying and reducing scope 3 emissions in 2025. Our goal for this year was to maximise our in-house performance, which will be continuously monitored to ensure no disimprovement occurs while we shift our focus to our greatest source of emissions. Internalising our scope 3 emissions will be extremely difficult and require significant stakeholder consultation. Thankfully through our outreach activities in 2024, we have developed relationships with many of the major players in our supply chains, and have connected with individuals and organisations who will be able to provide us with best-in-class advice and tools.
