GreenPlaces was founded in 2021 and reduction targets were not set in the 2021 GHG inventory. Now that our team has reached a representative size, this inventory report represents the first year where data collection and reduction targets are set. As GreenPlaces continues to grow, additional targets will be set.1. Improving data collection for scope 1 and 2a. To date, both scope 1 and 2 emissions are calculated using secondary data. Our goal is to have primary data for both scope 1 and 2 for the 2024 report. 2. Improving data collection for business travela. To date, business travel emissions are calculated via a spend-based method. As this methodology is highly inaccurate, our goal is to have primary business travel data for the 2024 report.b. By the beginning of 2024, our goal is to expand our travel policy to require employees to log miles traveled, flight type (first class, economy, etc.), and total accommodation nights.3. Achieving supplier specific emissions for top four categories.a. To date, purchased goods and services emissions are calculated via spend-based method.

By bringing together individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, organizations can promote creativity and innovation, ultimately leading to better problem-solving and decision-making.
