Found on page 43, had to convert therms to gigajoules. Purchased electricity - non-renewable sources

1 Therms = 0.10548 GJ

1 MWh = 3.6 GJ

(Calculation of non-renewable energy source: (64,731,790*0.10548) - (94,990*3.6) = 6,827,909.2092 - 341,964 = 6,485,945.2092)

pg. 19

"Total Energy Use (Therms), Fiscal 2017

Scope 1: Direct energy 5,146,861

Scope 2: Purchased electricity 3,171,214

Scope 3: Indirect energy* 56,413,715

Total therms 64,731,790"

"Although we met our GHG emission target early, we are continuing our efforts to reduce our impact. Each year, we purchase 100% renewable energy for all our North American operations. We support renewable energy with the purchase of Green e-certified renewable energy certificates (RECs). In 2017, we purchased 94,990 MWh of wind and solar energy, including some within the same grid region as our Windsor, Virginia, plant, which allows us to report zero Scope 2 emissions in our greenhouse gas footprint."
