## Sustainability story

We view climate-neutral certification as an extension of our agricultural practices, really. Growing cannabis in the soil, under the sun and rain—it not only makes for great bud, but it also makes environmental sense. This year, we offset over 100 tonnes of carbon with a reforestation project. We hope to bring that number down in the coming years and even become carbon negative in the future.

## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 1** — Replace our current delivery vehicle with a more fuel-efficient hybrid vehicle and install a new EV charger at our new warehouse. (source: Vehicle fleet, target: Q4 2024, completion: 50%)
- **Scope 3** — Reduce waste from food & organics through composting in all locations. (source: Operational waste, target: Q2 2024, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 1** — Implement energy conservation measures to reduce consumption 25% by installing electrified heat pumps and smart thermometers in our warehouse. (source: Energy at offices or controlled facilities, target: Q2 2025, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 2** — We will insulate and "weatherize" the exterior piping, which will result in a 15% reduction in electricity consumption at the dispensary location. (source: Electricity, target: Q2 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 1** — We will spray foam insulation in the dispensary's attic. This insulation should help us reduce our winter propane use by 25%. (source: Energy at offices or controlled facilities, target: Q2 2025, completion: 0%)
- **Scope 3** — We will redesign labels so they can be used longer than one season. This should extend the life of our rolls and reduce printed label waste by 20% at the office location. (source: Packaging, target: Q1 2026, completion: 0%)
