Future Goals

Looking ahead, Pure is charting an even bolder course for environmental leadership. We are poised to finalize our comprehensive carbon targets and pioneering decarbonization pathways by the end of 2025, addressing every facet of our footprint – from our direct operations (Scope 1) and purchased energy (Scope 2) to the broader emissions within our value chain (Scope 3). This commitment includes a notable 15% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions for all qualifying assets within three years of acquisition. By the close of 2025, we plan to have 75% of our properties under a water monitoring program, underscoring our dedication to resource efficiency.
