Carbon Footprint

Global Emissions

Most Greenhouse emissions (GHG) come from the burning of fossil fuels, burned to make electricity, heat our buildings, grow food, make products and for transportation. 

Measuring our Carbon Footprint

Using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Global GHG Value Chain Accounting and Reporting Standard, we measure the carbon footprint of everything we do.

 

Our Commitment and Action

We have set several greenhouse gas reduction targets. These goals align with the United Nations' target to hold temperature rise at 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and is advised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as an approachable goal for SMEs.

We choose to fund a diversity of projects across three areas of offset projects and allocate a specific percentage of our budget to each using the guidelines below.
