SUSTAINABILITY
AT ELEMENT
We consistently strive to improve sustainable business practices. Element pledges to reduce our carbon footprint, support green energy and promote responsible recycling of electronic devices. We have set a science-based emissions reduction target to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions 21% by 2027.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficient equipment and lighting at our South Carolina factory has reduced gas emissions by nearly 283 MT CO2e – equal to the emissions from driving 62 cars for a year.
Recycled Packaging Materials
Using 7,338 tons of post-consumer recycled materials in our packaging has reduced CO2e emissions by the equivalent of 71 homes’ electricity use for one year.
Renewable Energy
With the purchase of Green-e® certified renewable energy certificates greater than the amount of electricity used in our USA factory, we’ve surpassed our goal of greater than 95% renewable electricity in our US operations.
ENERGY STAR® Appliances
ENERGY STAR certified appliances are a growing part of our product lineup. New ENERGY STAR appliances sold each year helps avoid 26,816 MT CO2e over the products’ lifetime., compared to appliances at ENERGY STAR threshold levels.

WHAT IS MT CO2e?
MT CO2e stands for Metric Ton(s) of Carbon Dioxide equivalent. It describes different greenhouse gases using a common unit. Carbon dioxide equivalent represents the amount of CO2 that would have an equivalent global warming impact as compared to another greenhouse gas. This allows us to track the difference we are making in lessening our greenhouse gas emissions with one common unit of measurement.
