Our planet provides all of the amazing ingredients we showcase in our beers, so we have a responsibility to protect and preserve these precious resources.

## Emissions (2025)

**Methodology:** Pure Brewing's emissions inventory uses a mix of spending and activity-based data. Pure Brewing attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 2 (location-based): 90 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 90 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 720 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 720 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 1,002 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 1,002 tCO2e**

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