## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions by cutting shipping distances by reshoring as much packaging we use in product manufacturing as possible in the process of completing a full packaging audit. (source: Packaging, target: Q3 2023, completion: 70%)
