Water Use
GoalAchieve a 30% reduction in water use compared to the 2019 baseline by 2030
2024 performanceOur total water use increased by 39% compared to the previous year, driven by higher manufacturing output and several significant leaks that were identified and addressed after they had already caused substantial impact.
Community Impact Grants

GoalReduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 50% from the 2019 baseline by 2030
