Climate Goals & Targets
Short-term Goals:
- Annually reduce waste by 3.5% until 2030 (total reduction of 25% compared to 2021)
- Phase out landfill as a waste destination by 2025
Environmental Challenges
- Large amount of unused cardboard packaging due to supplier issues and oversized purchase orders
- Difficulty in storing excess cardboard due to space constraints and risk of damage
- Recycling of mirrors due to impurities
- High employee turnover (29.8%)
