Our GHG Inventory Does Not Include:
SCOPE 3 • Emissions from primary manufacturers and suppliers: We do not have a reliable way to measure the scope 3 impacts of manufacturing and customizing the products we sell. • 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. Our End of Life policy governs how we manage damaged product, misprints or out of date merchandise.
