Liberty Tire Recycling | 2023 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 37 ACCELERATING ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP GHG Emissions Overview As a company, Liberty Tire Recycling is dedicated to making the world a better place by reducing environmental impact through our core competency: recycling end-of-life tires into usable products. By doing so, we significantly reduce the number of tires disposed of in landfills and the amount of raw materials needed for new products. This regenerative approach is inherently beneficial for the environment. Additionally, we are committed to minimizing our own emissions footprint and helping our suppliers and customers measure and reduce theirs. Our commitment is reflected in the measurement and tracking of the greenhouse gases emitted by our operations, ensuring we continually strive for environmental sustainability. At Liberty Tire Recycling, we calculate our annual carbon footprint and handprint. Our carbon footprint demonstrates the amount of greenhouse gases our operations emit and our carbon handprint (Scope 4) details the amount of greenhouse gases that are avoided by using the products we manufacture and sell in place of products made from virgin materials. ` Scope 1 emissions are the greenhouse gases emitted from mobile sources such as our truck fleet and from our natural gas usage. ` Scope 2 emissions are calculated from the electricity purchased to run our facilities. ` Scope 3 emissions include GHG emissions attributed to our purchased goods and services, capital goods, fuel and energy-related activities, upstream transportation, generated waste, downstream product transportation, processing and end-of-life treatment of sold products, and employee business travel and commuting.
