2.1 Net zero target year
*2028
2.1.1 Base year
*2019
2.2 Near-term target
*50% of absolute scope 3 emission reduction from my base year by 2023
2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.
*As a digital company without an office or any physical products, manufacturing, shipping, or materials to distribute, we do not have scope 1 or 2 emissions per our 2019 and 2020 audit by climateneutral.org. However, we do have scope 3 emissions. Our target was to be net zero by 2028. We have already achieved that goal and are trying to maintain it even as the world of business travel goes back to normal post-pandemic. We have continued to reduce our carbon footprint, but that is in part due to downsizing our company operations and relying on outside partnerships. The key for us to select partners that align with our goals and also to advocate for change and action in other companies.
Own Emissions *
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
*0 kwh
3.3 Renewable energy
*0 kwh
Scope 1 emissions
3.4 Scope 1 emissions
*0 metric tons CO2e
Scope 2 emissions
3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions
*0 metric tons CO2e
3.6 Market based scope 2 emissions
*0 metric tons CO2e
3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.
*N/A
3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.
*We do not have scope 1 or 2 emissions.
Value Chain Emissions (optional) *
Scope 3 emissions
4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?
*Yes
4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions
*31 metric tons CO2e
Supply chain related - upstream emissions
Customer related - downstream emissions
4.1.17 Do you have a plan and are taking action to reduce emissions from your value chain?
*Yes
We continue to evaluate our supply change and make decisions on providers who align with our climate initiatives. Digital servers and transactions such as emails, video, etc. do have a carbon footprint and we take measures to reduce this where we are able and work with vendors who are making strides in their climate action commitments. We are also purchasing carbon credits to offset so while these digital activities do have an impact, we try to reduce and replace where we can.
4.2 Have you asked any of your suppliers to set a net zero target (either voluntarily or as a requirement)?
*No
4.3 Have you communicated your commitment and actions to any of your customers?
*Yes
4.4 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy and any tools used to calculate your scope 3 emissions.
*We use EPA.gov's calculator for our home office energy consumption.
We use a study from 2021 to measure our Zoom carbon footprint: This study conducted by researchers at Purdue, Yale, and MIT has found that one hour of videoconferencing emits up to 1 kilogram of carbon dioxide, uses up to 12 liters (3.2 gallons) of water, and requires a piece of land the size of an iPad Mini.
For our email we use the following: https://carbonliteracy.com/the-carbon-cost-of-an-email/
An average spam email: 0.3 g CO2e (carbon dioxide equivalent)
A standard email: 4 g CO2e
An email with “long and tiresome attachments”: 50 g CO2e
We aim to remove or reduce attachments and images, especially on mailing list newsletters that are sent to more people.
Results, Challenges and Outlook *
7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.
*Yearly total emission:
2019: 79.9
2020: 59.63
2021: 89.5
2022: 50.0
2023: 31.0
We have purchased carbon credits each year to maintain NetZero. We worked in 2019 - 2021 with Climate Neutral and are not purchasing directly from Gold Standard.
7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?
*Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Limited influence over suppliers
7.3 Has there been any third party validation of the data submitted in this report?
*Yes
2019 - 2021 this was verified by Climate Neutral and B Lab during our B Certification audit. All other years, it has only been our B Certification audit.
