Summary

Amir Ali Rajani created a emission reduction target for the Company that will not only improve the Company's emission intensity, but also optimize its operational cost. The proposed action plan considered all sources that make up Green House Gas emissions

Goals

At Home, a leading home décor retailer, sought help to develop a a decarbonization roadmap. Given the complexity of this task, the Company enrolled Amir, an Environmental Defense Fund fellow, to assist in organizing the data collection process, audit methodology and and collaborate in strategizing the roadmap. The data validation and set targets will contribute to reduce the Company?s carbon intensity, measured in CO2e per dollar revenue, in all three scopes.

Solutions

Amir approached the project in two stages: 1. Data collection process: Comprised primarily of a review of the FY2024 GHG inventory, related documentation and interviews with multiple stakeholders, Amir highlighted key parameters for further evaluation. For Scope 3, purchased goods and services and upstream transportation were identified as areas where activity-based data collection and reporting were key next steps.. Amir developed a proposed format and engaged with key suppliers and other vendors for future implementation. 2. Energy Consumption: Amir identified proposed energy consumption, a key source of direct contribution to GHG emissions, as a logical area of prioritization. Amir interviewed different utility providers and presented energy efficiency options to the At Home team, including opportunities for the Company to participate in renewable energy programs.

Potential Impact

Amir?s thorough research and attention to detail provided the Company an emissions reduction approach with a fresh perspective.
