• Business travel: Travel to client meetings, sales events and conferences. This does not take into account hotel nights and taxi/ride share services. All travel in 2022 was in North America. In 2019 our travel included additional US trips to facilitate the launch of our US company.
• Waste generated: Waste that we don’t compost or recycle at our head office operations that ends up in landfill.
• Paper consumption: Paper that we consume in our Head Office for printing, in 2022 we added corrugate cardboard used for kitting projects as this has become a more significant part of our business.
• Natural Gas burned: For heating in our office.
Our GHG Inventory Does Not Include:
SCOPE 3 • Emissions from primary manufacturers and suppliers: We have executed a spend-based accounting of embodied emissions from our upstream supply chain, but have not yet directly surveyed them for more specific accounting factors. • Product End of Life: We are not able to track what happens to the products we sell after they pass into the hands of the end user. While we occasionally work with clients to ensure responsible End of Life, at this point our focus is on selling durable high-quality products that lend themselves to longevity and products that are designed with circularity in mind or are easy to repurpose or recycle in North American facilities.
