## Reduction plans

### Science-aligned targets
- We commit to reducing 2021 Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions 42% by 2030. (completion: 0%)

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 2** — We plan to reduce location-based Scope 2 emissions. (source: Electricity, target: Q1 2024, completion: 86%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to removing synthetic plastics from our packaging by at least 50% to reduce Scope 3 emissions. (source: Packaging, target: Q1 2024, completion: 55%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan on installing 2 EV chargers to promote the use of EV vehicles for commuting by making charging easy and accessible at an operationally controlled facility. (source: Emissions associated with mobile fuel combustion, target: Q4 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We will develop a standardized waste disposal plan across all facilities (the optimization of this plan will look different by region due to local waste stream limitations and capabilities) to maximize waste diverted from landfills. (source: Organic Waste and Landfill Diversion, target: Q4 2024, completion: 25%)
- **Scope 3** — Transition to a central travel-booking platform and offer "Trains" as a new alternate option in an effort to reduce flight and driving miles. (source: Business travel, target: Q4 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — Add at least 2 additional EV charger ports to an operationally controlled facility to encourage EV adoption and reduce consumption of gasoline. (source: Employee commuting, target: Q4 2025, completion: 0%)
