It is our goal to become carbon neutral by the end of 2030 for scope 1 and 2 emissions, with 100% of our energy coming from renewable sources. Our scope 1 emissions are those that we produce on site through fuel combustion and refrigerant usage. Scope 2 emissions are those that we indirectly produce through the direct purchase of electricity and steam. Scope 3 emissions encompass a broader scope of indirect sources, such as purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution.
We are identifying opportunities to reduce our scope 1 emissions by replacing fossil fueled equipment with electric and other alternatives. In 2024, we put together a global steering committee to provide strategic oversight for our manufacturing sites on this initiative and have kicked off regular conversations with customers to collaborate on strategy. We have also added a requirement to include scope 1 emissions criteria as part of our capital expenditure approval process.
We are also focused on reducing our scope 2 emissions by expanding our use of renewable energy resources. In India, we secured a power purchase agreement (PPA) which supplied clean energy for roughly a quarter of the site’s annual electricity needs during 2024. At one of our sites in Türkiye, we invested in two wind turbines and began commissioning one of them in 2024 to provide renewable energy to the site. At the other Türkiye site, we continue to supply electricity from on-site solar panels, which account for about one-third of the site’s electricity needs. We also signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to ensure that all our sites in Mexico will be powered entirely by renewable energy starting in the spring of 2025. We remain committed to exploring renewable energy options across all our regions, with the goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity use at each facility.
In addition, we are focused on reducing energy usage at our facilities through energy reduction projects. In 2024, our associates completed over eleven energy reduction projects. Projects completed include optimizing machinery to reduce run times when sites are closed and improving the efficiency of our lighting systems.
In 2024, our total energy usage was 578,598 gigajoules (GJ). Our total scope 1 and 2 location-based emissions were 56,833 metric tons CO2e and our total scope 3 emissions were 1,022,000 metric tons CO2e.
