3.7 Have you taken any actions to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the reporting period?*
Yes
3.7.1 What actions have you taken?*
Energy efficient buildings and offices, Material circularity and waste reduction, Other
3.7.2 Describe your actions taken to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions in the reporting period*
We have increased Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle efforts at our facility. Additionally, we offset 12 metric tons of CO2 annually through purchased carbon offsets.
3.8 Which tools or methods did you use to calculate your Scope 1 and 2 emissions?*
Small Business Carbon Calculator, Own internal calculations

-
Value Chain Emissions (optional)
Scope 3 emissions

4.5.1 Specify additional details*
-
Results, Challenges and Outlook *
7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.*
This is our first year calculating emissions across all three scopes. Scope 1 and 2 are straightforward, since our shop is all-electric with a known kWh figure. Scope 3 required significant estimation, particularly purchased goods and services, which represents the majority of our footprint due to metal machining and lab equipment purchases. We refined several estimates during this process, most notably correcting our disc coupon manufacturing estimate from a spend-based approximation to an actual material weight calculation, which reduced that specific line item substantially. We do not yet have comparable prior-year data across all categories, so year-over-year trend reporting will begin with next year's submission.
7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?*
Reducing scope 3 emissions, Complexities in managing supply chain emissions, Insufficient funding, Low return on investment
Specify other challenges*
-
7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?*
No
