## Emissions (2024)

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

- Scope 1: 4 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 148 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 0 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 26 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 0 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 178 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per dollar of revenue — dollar of revenue
