Greenhouse gas emissions are calculated in three “scopes”
*Scope 1 emissions are those from cources we directly own or control (e.g., our vehicles).
**Scope 2 emissions are from the electricity used at our factory. For Scope 2 emissions, we report both market-based and location-based figures following the GHG Protocol. Location-based emissions (357 MT CO2e) reflect the non-renewable electricity we used from the local grid. Market-based emissions (0 MT CO2e) reflect the renewable energy certificates (RECs) that Dr. Bronner’s purchases from Midwestern pollinator-friendly solar projects through our partnership with Organic Valley and OneEnergy, We are proud to be 100% Renewably Powered!
***Scope 3 emissions are from our activities related to sources outside of our direct control (e.g., supply chain emissions, shipping, travel).
† Total based on market-based approach
