## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — Reduce emissions from data stored in AWS data centers. Data storage emissions (from AWS data centers) are currently from non-renewable energy sources. We will explore options for transitioning our data to a data center powered by renewable energy. (source: Software and servers, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from business travel by decreasing carbon emissions related to domestic and international travel. (source: Business travel, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from employee commuting by implementing a Hybrid Work Policy that allows employees to elect into being remote-based. (source: Employee commuting, target: Q3 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from company purchases by implementing purchasing guidelines for employees to use to create greener purchases. (source: Operational waste, target: Q2 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Develop and implement a Stay or Go travel framework to support holistic thinking about low-carbon travel by all Dimagi employees. (source: Business travel, target: Q4 2024, completion: 50%)

- **Scope 3** — The Dimagi U.S. team will be moving to a co-working space in the U.S. as the current space is being underutilized. With this reduction in space, Dimagi will reduce Scope 3.1 emissions for the U.S. facility by 5%. (source: Purchased Goods, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 1** — The Dimagi U.S. team will be moving to a co-working space in the U.S. as the current space is being underutilized.
