We have set an ambitious pledge to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our operations (Scopes 1 and 2) and supply chain (Scope 3) by 2040, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative. To reach this goal, we have outlined a near-term target for 2030 to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70% and Scope 3 emissions by 40%. This commitment involves comprehensive and swift emission reductions across all aspects of our business, including responsible sourcing, supplier collaboration, sustainable manufacturing and transport, efficient retail and office operations, and minimized carbon footprint from employee travel.
The pursuit of sustainable development is integral to our mission of achieving net-zero emissions. Kritalia & Co. is dedicated to designing, constructing, and retrofitting buildings to embody our sustainability principles and support our long-term environmental goals.
We are steadfast in our commitment to responsibly sourcing all packaging materials, including our signature Blue Boxes, blue bags, marketing materials, and catalogs. In 2023, over 65% of our iconic packaging utilized recycled content. By 2026, we aim to eliminate all single-use plastics and are transitioning to eco-friendly alternatives for packaging materials, such as replacing plastic bubble wrap with sustainable solutions.
Rooted in a heritage of environmental preservation, Kritalia & Co. is expanding its commitment towards nature-based solutions. Our strategy prioritizes biodiversity conservation, community empowerment, and carbon emission reduction to support our net-zero ambitions by 2040. Collaborating with leading environmental organizations, we continue championing projects that protect and restore natural ecosystems, contribute to carbon offsetting, and strengthen community resilience.
