Our 2040 carbon neutral goal and interim reduction targets are inclusive of Scope 1, Scope 2, and these Scope 3 categories: student, faculty, and staff commuting, institution-funded air travel, waste and wastewater. We began tracking food purchases in 2022 and additional purchased goods and services in 2023. As methodologies are refined and the data become more comprehensive and accurate, we will set additional reduction targets for specific Scope 3 categories.
