Current Year Reduction Actions

01

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce supply chain emissions from our purchased goods and services (S3.1) by 20% from our top 20 suppliers by Q2 2024.

How We'll Reduce It

Incentivize our suppliers to adopt aggressive and comprehensive decarbonization strategies that will result in at least a 20% emissions reduction. We will evaluate decarbonization commitments and progress to plan as part of our procurement process.

02

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce total air travel intensity by 20% from 2022 levels by Q4 2023.

How We'll Reduce It

Mitigate non-essential air travel and evolve our existing business travel guidelines to help set expectations for when/how our employees should leverage air travel. We will explore incentive programs to further reduce non-essential travel.
