Preserve has tracked and offset our scope 1 and 2 emissions for at least 10 years and we began measuring and offsetting our scope 3 with the help of changeclimate.org in 2020. Because 2020 was an anomalous year and 2021 was a recovery year, we chose 2022 as our baseline. Please note that our measurement of scope 3 does not currently include end of life for our products. We are seeking to estimate that separately.

We purchase 100% renewables for our own electricity. For scope 1, our only emission source is our heating. We are targeting our heat to change to renewables when we end our lease. For our scope 3, we are working hard to move our closest supplier partners to renewable electricity which we believe will allow us to hit a 20% reduction in scope 3 emissions by the end of 2026.

Preserve's heating is through a gas furnace (scope 1). Lighting, the powering of computers and equipment, and cooling are all done with purchased electricity. In June 2022, Preserve moved from average grid mix to a community 100% renewables plan. The 75% renewables for the year is an estimate based on Massachusetts' average grid mix and the timing of the move to renewables.

List any sources of emissions excluded:

*

Two sources of emissions that we did not measure are use phase, which we will not account for because our products only have indirect emissions during use, and end of life. End of life was not included in our calculations with Changeclimete.org but we are working to estimate that ourselves.

describe the calculation methodology and comment on accuracy:

*

Most of our calculations were undertaken in partnership with Changeclimate.org (Climate Neutral certification) using GHG protocol based methodology. Whenever possible, we used activity based estimates versus spend based estimates and each year we are working to improve our accuracy.

Actions and plans to reduce emissions *

Scope 1 Actions
