“We learned that the Scope 3 emissions were the most significant part of our footprint back in 2009, when we did our very first ever footprint analysis. Pure Strategies collaborated with us and found that more than 90% of our footprint was from the use phase. Having outside expertise inform our strategy enables us to tap into the latest science and innovative approaches to science-based targets.”
