SCOPE 3: GREENHOUSE GAS FOOTPRINT
Scope 3 emissions are emissions that occur outside of our direct operations, including emissions 
from production, transportation, packaging, distribution, etc., or any indirect emissions that sit 
upstream or downstream within the value chain. Scope 3 emissions are comprised of 15 categories 
– 11 of which apply to Grain Millers and are reported in the graphic below.
Most of our emissions fall into category 1, purchased goods and services, representing 55% of our 
total Scope 3 emissions. Purchased goods and services include emissions from the production of 
products purchased, which in our case is largely grain cultivation. Other high emitting categories 
included category 12 (17%) which looks at end-of-life emissions or the disposal of products, 
category 10 (15%) which considers the processing of products after they leave our facilities, and 
category 4 (10%) which covers transportation of goods to or from our facilities in trucks that are not 
owned by Grain Millers. The remaining categories only reflect 3% of our total Scope 3 emissions.
We currently have initiatives focused on reducing our category 1 emissions, which include our 
grower incentive program, PFRA, integrating sustainability monitoring during farm visits, and 
supporting regenerative agriculture research and events. You can read more about these initiatives 
in the Commitment 2 section of this report.
*The other categories row is comprised of Capital Goods, Upstream Fuel and Energy Activities, Waste Generated in Operations, Business Travel, 
Employee Commuting, Upstream Leased Assets, and Downstream Transportation and Distribution.

CARBON DISCLOSURE PROJECT (CDP)
Since 2016, we have disclosed annually to the Carbon Disclosure Project and work each 
year to improve our score. If you are interested in adding us to your CDP disclosure list,

SUPPLIER LEADERSHIP ON CLIMATE TRANSITION
Grain Millers participates in an online learning collaborative, Supplier Leadership on 
Climate Transition (Supplier LOCT), that provides guidance on how to measure and report 
on GHG emissions. This program is a partnership of worldwide brands and suppliers 
that are committed to carbon emissions reductions. Through our participation in the 
global Supplier LOCT collaborative, we have calculated our Scope 1, 2, & 3 greenhouse 
footprints and have achieved the GHG Scope 1 & 2 Footprint badge and the GHG Scope 
3 Footprint badge. These badges signify our shared ambition to reduce GHG emissions 
and be in alignment with industry standards.
