This is good news but sadly they don’t talk about transportation as normally they are not considered as a problem of the manufacturer.

Maritime and airplane transportation emissions not being considered in Paris agreement illustrate this problem.

Other thing is planned obsolescence. I wonder what is being made in the company to design products to last a lifetime.

Well at least on the consumer side, my perception has always been that their brand revolves around solidly built products that last long. We have a bunch of power tools that must be like 20 years old and still work like new.

Maritime and airplane emission is definite an issue after the grid power transferred to renewables. The problem is the low energy density and the variance in renewable resources. I guess for transportation it is more practical to aim for net carbon neutral.
