Seventh Generation Lowers Emissions by 18%
Homecare company and green products company Seventh Generation announced that its absolute emissions shrank by 18% from 2022.
For the first time since Seventh Generation set its science-based climate target, its emissions rate was lower than the 2012 baseline by 4%.
Seventh Generation also lowered its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 100% through partnership with its electric and gas utilities and procurement of clean energy. The company’s footprint is almost entirely Scope 3 emissions, and consumer use represents 93% of those emissions.
In 2022, Seventh Generation became the first company to publicly disclose its financed emissions. While its banking relationships are under the purview of its parent company, in the past year Seventh Generation has engaged Unilever in undergoing an audit of its own financed emissions, including commissioning a report and joint review.
"Looking at our 2023 progress, we are proud of the recent strides made across not only our footprint, but through the work we've done as advocates, as well, driving critical policy change," said Kate Ogden, Head of Advocacy and Movement Building, Seventh Generation, in a statement. "That said, we know our work and that of the industry at large is far from over to meet the urgency of the climate crisis we face. We will continue to hold ourselves and our peers accountable."
