## Emissions (2026)

**Methodology:** KBS Pets's inventory uses spending data to estimate GHG emissions. KBS Pets attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate Project team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 194 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 194 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 194 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 194 tCO2e**

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

### Emissions history (tCO2e, intensity as disclosed)

| 2022 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 120.24 |
| 2023 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 79.2 |
| 2024 | n/a | n/a | n/a | 52.86 |
| 2025 | 0 | 0 | 194 | 57.06 |

## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — Transition 50% of single-use plastics to lower carbon alternatives (reusable materials) across all packaging. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Redesign current protective anti-collision foam to a more sustainable alternative (such as honeycomb panels) so its compostable & recyclable. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — By EOY 2025, we are committed to transitioning and replacing the remaining 50% of existing packaging components that are not fully recyclable with sustainable, lower-carbon alternative reusable materials. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We will collaborate with land freight shipping couriers that utilize electric delivery vehicles to reduce our delivery emissions by 20% by EOY 2025. (source: Downstream shipping, target: Q4 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — Move over 30% of our workforce to fully remote to significantly reduce employee commutes and lower carbon emissions. (source: Employee commuting, target: 2025, completion: 50%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to transition to a 100% lower-carbon approach in our real wood branch collection, limiting harvesting to late winter-early spring. We source only naturally shaped branches from non-fruit-bearing trees, ensuring sustainability & reducing emissions. (source: Raw materials, target: 2025, completion: 75%)
- **Scope 3** — We redesigned our shipping packaging and materials to reduce overall package size and better fit the number of units shipped. This helps cut down packaging use and lowers our overall shipping footprint. (source: Packaging, target: 2026, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — We’ll reduce upstream shipping emissions by 10–15% by consolidating component shipments moving directly from Japan to our West Coast location. This improves logistics efficiency and reduces transportation-related emissions. (source: Upstream shipping, target: 2027, completion: 0%)
