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. A supplier survey was sent out in 2023 to gather supplier specific emissions data from our vendors. Our goal is by 2027 to have achieved supplier specific or hybrid data for our top four emitting categories.i. Top categories:1. Legal2. Software3. Advertising4. Miscellaneous Professional Services (Recruiting, Consulting,etc.)Greenhouse Gas Summary Report: GreenPlaces, 2022 104. A reduction in one to two metric tons per employee by the end of the year 2024.

Practicing diversity in hiring is essential for fostering a rich and inclusive workplace culture. 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. Additionally, diverse teams are more reflective of the global marketplace, enhancing a company's ability to connect with a wider range of customers. This commitment to diversity not only strengthens the workforce but also contributes to improved employee satisfaction and retention, as individuals feel valued and empowered in an inclusive environment
