## Reduction plans

### Reduction action plans
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from freight. (source: Upstream shipping, target: Q3 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce single use plastics in our operations. The biggest impact will be moving from using shrink sleeves on our cans to using printed cans. (source: Packaging, target: Q4 2022, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from our purchased goods and services, particularly our clothing and merchandise product lines. (source: Raw materials, target: Q2 2023, completion: 100%)
- **Scope 3** — We plan to reduce emissions from employee commuting. (source: Employee commuting, target: Q4 2022, completion: 50%)
- **Scope 1** — Update vehicle fleet and make more efficient by optimizing for our business needs. We'll reduce the number of kilometers driven by having vehicles that will allow us to maximise volume per route and anticipate one less vehicle. (source: Vehicle fleet, target: Q2 2024, completion: 100%)
