UNHSI Sustainability Fellowship -Scope 3 Carbon Emissions

Lawson's Finest Liquids is excited to announce that we will be hosting a UNHSI Sustainability Fellow this upcoming 2025 Summer. Information on our project description is below:

The Fellow will conduct a scope 3 greenhouse gas inventory using the UNH SIMAP platform for Lawson’s Finest Liquids’ operations to complement their scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas inventory. This will include, but is not limited to, in-house and regional distribution, off-site production, warehousing, and packaging. 

Lawson’s Finest Liquids will have already calculated a portion of their carbon footprint as part of the Spring 2025 UNH Climate Action Clinic. This effort focused on their direct on-site emissions (scope 1) and indirect purchased electricity emissions (scope 2), and it will have identified key opportunities for on-site reductions. As a regionally distributed craft beer producer with a complex supply chain, Lawson’s Finest looks forward to calculating their upstream and downstream carbon emissions (scope 3) and exploring further recommendations for emissions reductions. 

The first phase of the Fellowship will involve confirming which scope 3 categories are both relevant to Lawson’s Finest and feasible to calculate, based on available activity data sets. The second phase of the Fellowship will be completing the scope 3 emissions analysis, which will complement the scope 1 & 2 carbon emissions analyses already completed in the UNH SIMAP platform, and provide visibility to Lawson’s Finest complete carbon accounting. The final phase of the Fellowship will be taking a holistic look at the complete footprint analysis to suggest recommendations for emissions reductions. 

Lawson’s Finest seeks to incorporate emissions data and modeling into everyday business decisions to enhance our sustainability and reduce our overall contribution to climate change.
