## Emissions (2025)

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

- Scope 1: 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 2 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 2 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 43 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 43 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 46 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 46 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per FTE — FTE
