## Emissions (2024)

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

- Scope 1: 122 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 205 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 4,510 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 4,837 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per FTE — FTE

## Reduction plans

### Science-aligned targets
- We commit to reducing 2021 Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030. (completion: 0%)

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to improve our production energy efficiency by focusing on using as much renewable energy as possible in our processing operations. (source: Supply chain energy use, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to improve our purchasing processes to minimize shipments and consolidate them into as few total trips as possible. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2023, completion: 75%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from our employee commute, specifically automobile travel. (source: Employee commuting, target: Q4 2023, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from our packaging materials. We are transitioning from plastic HDPE pails to BIB systems. (source: Packaging, target: Q2 2024, completion: 95%)
- **Scope 1** — Replace our traditional vehicle fleet with zero-emission electric vehicles. (source: Vehicle fleet, target: Q3 2025, completion: 80%)
- **Scope 3** — Implement a low carbon sourcing/purchasing policy to require suppliers to submit carbon footprint data and drive sales towards vendors making active efforts to measure and reduce these emissions across chemicals. (source: Raw materials, target: Q3 2025, completion: 1%)
- **Scope 3** — Source raw materials closer to manufacturing to reduce miles traveled across our chemical inventory usage. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 2** — Start experimenting with a more energy efficient development method of products (ex: cold processing), which, when scaled up as production grows, will have a reduction on our overall energy usage. (source: Electricity, target: Q4 2025, completion: 0%)
