2023

2.2 Near-term target

*

50% of absolute total emission reduction from my base year by 2026

2.3 Provide any additional comments or context on your net zero and near term targets.

*

2030 is a pretty tight deadline for going net zero, but with a small team, we are confident we can do it! We do believe the first 50% will take longer than the last 50%.

Own Emissions *

3.1 To reduce emissions in line with my commitment, my company has a plan and is taking action

*

No

Energy consumption

3.2 Total energy consumption

*

70 kwh

*

0 metric tons CO2e

Scope 2 emissions

3.5 Location based scope 2 emissions

*

.261 metric tons CO2e

3.7 Describe your plans and actions taken to reduce scope 1 & 2 emissions.

*

We will continue to conduct business virtually (limit in-person meetings) and make great use of our solar array to get as much electricity in-house as possible.

3.8 Describe the calculation methodology and comment on the data accuracy, including any tools/methods used to calculate.

*

We used the Normative Business Carbon Calculator to come up with estimates and numbers. The electricity and heat used by our business is hard to measure as we are a remote team, but we filled in as much as we knew.

Value Chain Emissions (optional) *

Scope 3 emissions

4.1 Have you measured any of your scope 3 emissions?

*

Yes

4.1.1 Total scope 3 emissions

Results, Challenges and Outlook *

7.1 Provide any additional comments or context on your annual results and progress from previous years.

*

This is the first full year of our company running and having something to even estimate. We have some work to do when it comes to tracking all aspects of our business (including electricity use and heat). We have also secured our own solar array which will help us meet our goals.

7.2 Do you face any key challenges in reducing emissions?

*

Limited control over energy use in buildings,Balancing emission reductions with business growth,Insufficient policies or government incentives,Lack of skills and knowledge,Insufficient funding,Inaccurate or insufficient data
