## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from upstream shipping by increasing the lead times for production and shipping to reduce/eliminate air freight in favor of more sustainable shipping methods. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions associated with our products' hang tags by reducing their size by 25% across product categories. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce manufacturing emissions from raw materials by assessing opportunities to replace virgin cotton with recycled cotton. (source: Raw materials, target: Q2 2023, completion: 50%)
- **Scope 2** — Transition 100% of purchased electricity to renewable energy from wind  & solar through our electric utility in our Toronto headquarters. (source: Energy at offices or controlled facilities, target: Q1 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We'll reuse old cardboard boxes and packing materials for outbound shipping to wholesale accounts, reducing our reliance on new  boxes and materials by 30-50%, in our Vermont and Ontario warehouses. (source: Packaging, target: Q3 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Implement a policy to extend the lifespan of office computers 50% in our Toronto office and for remote empolyees. (source: Capital expenditures, target: Q4 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Source raw materials closer to manufacturing to reduce miles traveled by 30% across cotton suppliers in India. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce operational textile waste by 30% by designing and producing small accessory pouches using off-cut and surplus fabric generated during production. (source: Operational waste, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Transition from recycled polyester (rPET) linings to lightweight organic cotton linings in 50% of Fluf products. This change reduces reliance on synthetic fibers derived from plastic and eliminates a source of microfiber shedding during use and washing. (source: Raw materials, target: 2027, completion: 0%)
