## Sustainability story

We work to have a big impact on pets' lives, with as little impact on the planet as possible.
And do a little good where possible too.

## Emissions (2025)

**Methodology:** Beco's emissions inventory uses a mix of spending and activity-based data. Beco attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 17 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 2,443 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 2,443 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 2,460 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 2,460 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per unit of product — unit of product

### Emissions history (tCO2e, intensity as disclosed)
| Year | Scope 1 | Scope 2 | Scope 3 | Intensity |
|-|-|-|-|-|
| 2021 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 0.81 |
| 2022 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 0.97 |
| 2023 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 0.71 |
| 2024 | 17 | 0 | 2,443 | 0.72 |

## Reduction plans

### Science-aligned targets
- We commit to reducing 2022 Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030. (completion: 0%)

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce the emissions of the raw materials we use to make our recycled waste bags. (source: Raw materials, target: Q2 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce the emissions from transporting our goods from our suppliers to our UK distribution centre. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce road transport with an estimated 8.6% reduction in the CO2e of our upstream shipping. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce the weight of shipments by air freight by 15% (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce virgin rubber emissions by18t (50%) by switching to FSC-certified natural rubber and conducting an internal LCA to determine the new emissions factor. (source: Raw materials, target: Q1 2026, completion: 50%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce polymer emissions by 15t by increasing the percentage of recycled materials in our products. (source: Raw materials, target: Q1 2026, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We will reduce the amount of residual waste produced from our main site by introducing a new circular waste stream for food waste. (source: Waste Generation, target: 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — We will source office equipment and supplies with increased circularity and lower carbon emissions. (source: Raw materials, target: 2025, completion: 0%)
