Blue Apron Meets Carbon Neutral Goal
Blue Apron announced that it has met its commitment to become carbon neutral by March 31, 2022, offsetting Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions as defined by the GHG Protocol.
Blue Apron achieved its goal through the purchase of carbon offsets, based on an initial carbon footprint analysis conducted by Aspiration. The carbon credits were purchased also from Aspiration and cover estimated upstream and downstream emissions that range from sourcing, packaging and transporting Blue Apron’s products.
Blue Apron is now working towards implementing systematic reductions designed to achieve a longer-term goal of net zero.
“Sustainability has always been part of our DNA and we believe it’s important to conduct our business in a way that mitigates our impact on the world around us,” said Linda Findley, Blue Apron’s President and CEO in a statement. “Achieving our carbon neutrality goal was one of our top priorities. While we are proud of this achievement, we know that there’s more work for us to do, along with others in the industry, to help ensure a better world for future generations.”
Becoming carbon neutral is part of Blue Apron’s Better Living Roadmap, the company’s plans to sustain, preserve and build on its sustainability commitments.
The company’s goals include ongoing efforts at reductions in waste, emissions, and packaging and publishing an annual update on sustainability commitments, including non-financial disclosures in alignment with Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), currently estimated to start in 2023.
