comment on your net zero targets

We committed through B-Corps for Net Zero x 2030 in April 2020. While we need a lot of guidance, our hope is by recommitting with the SME Climate Hub in 2023 we can gain access to tools and resources that will help us make realistic goals for short-term and long-term emissions reduction.

Comment on your energy consumption

*

Our utility emissions data is a bit confusing as we had onsite solar generation (75 kW system) for some time that offset a lot of our energy consumption. This is why you're seeing negative kWh usage for our HQ.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

Yes

We have installed programable thermostats and as old machinery becomes obsolete we will replace it with energy-efficient heat pump technology.

Working with US distributors to cut transportation emissions by using shared truckload shipping which reduces empty truck space and removes terminal stops and can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15-40%.

Yes

We recognize the need to source environmentally friendly packaging solutions that function for our products. Until better options become available, we are actively transitioning all our packaging to post-consumer resin (PCR) until a viable compostable option becomes available. Current limitations will allow for 30% PCR, but we will continue to search for ways to increase PCR material in our packaging.
