## Sustainability story

Hello! We are Lemu, a group of people inspired by nature and driven by science. We live in 9+ cities on 3 continents, with different backgrounds and journeys, and we have one goal in common: we believe everyone can be involved in caring for nature, harnessing technology that empowers us to work together and help protect Earth's ecosystems against the environmental crisis. To that end, we are developing an app to value life on Earth, which allows everyone to explore nature through our atlas, adopt ecosystems, and witness their impact from wherever they are.

## Emissions (2024)

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

- Scope 1: 9 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 6 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 377 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 392 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per FTE — FTE
