Studio Locale’s increased target remains an absolute GHG reduction target, including the optional Scope 3 emissions to track employee commuting. They will also report on electricity and natural gas from their office in Kitchener. Additionally, after scoring 80.2 Points on their B-Corp assessment, and passing the risk review assessment, Studio Locale is B-Corp Certified. This accomplishment is an exciting milestone in Studio Locale’s commitment to sustainability!
“When we realized how the changes to our working model impacted our carbon footprint, it seemed only appropriate to push ourselves a bit more to see what additional tactics we could implement. The increase to our reduction target keeps us accountable. It also forces us to use our creative muscles for ways we can continue making a positive impact.
Most importantly, we made these changes without any negative impact on our business, client relationships or team culture.
If we’re really serious about hitting the carbon reduction targets for our region, then we all need to look at how we can contribute. It’s making meaningful changes that will get us to our goals,” said Robin Mondor, Managing Partner of Studio Locale.
