## Sustainability story

We started this company with the desire to help people give corporate gifts that recipients would genuinely enjoy and want to use repeatedly. We believe that gifts should be thoughtful and cherished, and this belief fits perfectly into our commitment to sustainability. Not only do we focus on curating high-quality, remarkable, and long-lasting gifts, but we also intentionally partner with suppliers that work towards creating a better future for people and the planet. As we like to say - better gifts for a better planet. We have sustainable practices built into everything we do at Clove & Twine. We are 1% for the Planet members, so Climate Neutral is a clear next step. We have this one incredible planet. And we want to keep it beautiful.

## Reduction plans

### Science-aligned targets
- We commit to reducing 2021 Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030. (completion: 66%)

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from packaging transportation. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from the manufacturing process of packaging materials. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — 70% of our shipping supplies (shipping boxes, tape, void fill) will be composed of recycled content. We will comparatively track the purchases of virgin vs recycled packaging materials. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2024, completion: 51%)
- **Scope 3** — We are working to reduce air freight in all aspects of our business via education to our team, education to clients, and putting protocols into place to reduce air freight usage. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We aim to maintain or reduce our current air shipment percentage of 4% over the next year by optimizing logistics processes and prioritizing lower-carbon transportation methods, such as sea and ground shipping, wherever feasible. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q3 2026, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Develop a system to categorize shipping data, enabling the measurement of differences between upstream and downstream shipping. This system will help identify areas for improvement and optimize future shipping processes. (source: Downstream shipping, target: Q3 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Maintain or reduce our current air freight usage of 4% despite projected company growth, by enhancing forward-planning with clients and optimizing our freight partnerships for better route efficiency and inventory consolidation. (source: Maintain or reduce our current air freight usage of 4% despite projected company growth, by enhancing forward-planning with clients and optimizing our freight partnerships for better route efficiency and inventory consolidation., target: 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Develop a fully recycled, curbside-recyclable packaging option (box, tape, void fill) to reduce mixed-material use and lower upstream emissions. This new solution will be offered to 100% of clients during the project scoping phase. (source: Packaging, target: 2027, completion: 0%)
