Through our diligent efforts to make improvements in our operations, we have reduced our electricity usage by 37% since 2010.
In 2022, we completed our first greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment to understand our baseline Scope 1 and 2 emissions for the 2021 calendar year (see full inventory in the 2023 Corporate Sustainability Report). Through this exercise, we were able to identify electricity and purchased steam as top emission sources.
