We’re committed to driving meaningful climate action, and our achievement of the Supplier GHG LoCT Scope 3 Footprint Badge reflects that dedication. Scope 3 emissions—those generated across the supply chain—represent one of the biggest challenges in sustainability today. By collaborating with industry leaders and taking bold steps to reduce our carbon footprint, we’re advancing science-based targets and shaping a more sustainable future.
