Even with this growth, we have still reduced our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 16% and our air emissions by 19%, on pace to exceed our 2025 goals.

Our electrical usage has increased slightly (2.6%) since 2019 on an absolute kilowatt hour basis, but it decreased by over 12% per dollar of sales and by 4.7% per employee hour worked.

Our water usage has increased as well, particularly over the past year (25.5%), but only 3.2% per dollar of sales since 2019. This increase is attributable to doubling the size of one of our facilities and new business at that expanded facility that has specialized water usage requirements. We remain committed to decreasing our usage as we grow and are working on ways to conserve and reuse water across the organization and to improve our water use and recycling/reuse measurement program.
