At the foundation of our approach are manage the risks data collection from manufacturing facilities, product impact goals that align with the scientific consensus of the Paris and opportunities modeling, and enhanced transparency to understand and pursue related to opportunities for emissions reductions. We also work closely Agreement to pursue efforts to limit global temperature climate change, with our suppliers on programs to enhance energy efficiency and rise to less than 1.5 degrees Celsius. we received an strategy- and goal-setting around climate change, and provide A- rating from education and resources that help them set their own SBTs.
