ENERGY MANAGEMENT
More information on energy management can be found under our SASB Disclosures Index. Looking forward, we have several initiatives in the pipeline to improve our energy management. To further reduce the Scope 2 emissions of our locations, in 2023 we are installing sensor-enabled lighting in locations nationwide. Our energy management goals are also informed by industry standards developed by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our goal for 2024, aligned with SDG 12.6, is to have a more comprehensive Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions calculation. We believe this is the best path forward and intend to set reduction targets once we have calculated our emissions.

MANAGING EMISSIONS
A key priority in our business is to get needed parts to our customers quickly. Customers are repairing cars that are sitting on a hydraulic lift, and they are e�ectively losing money if they don’t yet have the parts they need to �nish the job. Hence, prompt delivery of the part for this “last mile” is critical for the e�ciency and pro�tability of our customers’ businesses. To keep vital parts �owing, we maintain our own �eet of vehicles. As of the end of 2022 the Parts Authority �eet was composed of: • 3,497 gasoline-powered vehicles and 123 diesel vehicles. • Our gas vehicles drove over 91 million miles, consumed 3,202,866 gallons of gasoline and produced CO² equivalent emissions of 28,463 mT . • Our diesel vehicles drove over 3.2 million miles, consumed 308,554 gallons of diesel and produced CO² equivalent emissions of 3,140 mT . We have invested signi�cantly in initiatives and capabilities involving intelligent and e�cient delivery routing algorithms. Our routing algorithms enable us to batch deliveries for pre-programed delivery zones in order to minimize miles driven while meeting customers’ service level expectations. This is in addition to out�tting each vehicle with a tablet that enables route optimization.
