• Reducing: Buying in bulk, using materials more efficiently, and optimizing processes

• Reusing: Using durable, multi-use products instead of disposables

• Repurposing: Finding new uses for items that would otherwise be discarded

• Recycling: Sorting recyclable materials and sending them to recycling facilities

Net Zero

Net-zero standards are frameworks that help organizations set and achieve targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to balance emissions with removals, ultimately leading to a net-zero carbon footprint.

Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

What are Net-Zero Standards?

• Frameworks for Action:

  Net-zero standards provide a structured approach for companies and organizations to reduce their emissions and achieve net-zero targets.

• Science-Based Targets:

  These standards are based on scientific evidence and the need to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

• Near-Term and Long-Term Targets:

  They encourage organizations to set both near-term (e.g., 2030) and long-term (e.g., 2050) targets for emissions reductions.
