Today, we're sharing our third annual Impact Report. This report details our progress against the 11 goals of our sustainability strategy How We Tread Right (HWTR), which tackles climate, food, waste, diversity, equity & inclusion (DEI), travel experiences and wildlife.
Being more than halfway through this 5-year strategy, we're proud to share that in 2023 we achieved several wins and reached some of our 2025 goals early, including sourcing 50% of our electricity from renewable sources, which we surpassed by 4% last year. Of course, our work is never done. Our journey to #netzero is a priority for us and investments through our dedicated Carbon Fund are proof of that commitment.
Some highlights from 2023 include:
💰 Invested more than $1.88 million into decarbonization projects, financed by our Carbon Fund
📉 Achieved a reduction of Scope 1 + 2 emissions by 31%, and Scope 3 emissions by 5% from our 2019 baseline
💡 Powered 32 of our owned properties with 100% renewable electricity
🛣 Established a Net Zero Trip Roadmap, measuring the carbon footprint of 700+ trips and outlining how TTC will reduce trip emissions by 27.5% by 2030
