Taking Action to Address Climate Change
As part of Ultra’s commitment in addressing climate change, we joined the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LoCT), an online learning platform that helps suppliers and major brands navigate the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In Supplier LoCT, we get hands-on guidance from sustainability experts to keep us moving forward from the initial stage of measuring and reporting on our carbon footprint to setting a science-based target and ultimately reducing our emissions. We have completed the process of submitting our GHG Scope 1 & 2 Footprint, GHG Scope 3 Footprint, Science Based Target (SBT) and have disclosed emissions to CDP. Ultra has been awarded badges from both the LoCT and CDP programs as part of our achievements on our climate journey. We look forward to continuing our work to advance Scope 3 reduction globally.
