During the pandemic we adopted a “Travel with Purpose” policy that urges colleagues to be intentional with their travel, considering why they are traveling and whether the goal of the travel could be accomplished remotely. We can make significant progress toward our Scope 3 goal by continuing our “Travel with Purpose” policy, choosing more sustainable forms of travel when they are available, and procuring sustainable aviation fuel. Additional strategic measures will be enhanced by colleague training and awareness building.
Reducing office energy use, sourcing renewable energy, and implementing energy efficiency programs are key strategic levers for meeting our Scopes 1 and 2 emissions reduction targets. We will also pursue decarbonization avenues including direct investments in renewable energy While emerging technologies need acceleration, investment, and consolidation to help in the long term, the most effective way to future-proof infrastructure right now is to pursue quick wins with existing, low-cost, mature technologies. Digital twins for clean energy transition with solar, wind, geothermal sources are already widely available; efficiency alone can represent more than 30% reduction in GHG abatement.
