## Sustainability story

We are committed to being a business that not only makes good products but also does good for the world. As a company located in Southern California, we have seen the effects of climate change firsthand, and we want to do something about it. We've partnered with Climate Neutral, an independent non-profit organization, to take responsibility for our greenhouse gas emissions in a meaningful and measurable way.

## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from purchased goods. (source: Raw materials, target: Q4 2021, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from our upstream shipping by decreasing our reliance on air freight. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q4 2021, completion: 30%)
