Direct air emissions outlined below are from fuel purchased for heating and emergency generators in North America. All
of these emissions are below threshold levels set by local and federal organizations. We continue to evaluate options
to further reduce direct emissions globally.

Distribution. Much effort is invested to ensure that our
products get to customers quickly and safely. We have also
focused on reducing air emissions by using more efficient
modes of transport when possible and reducing the weight
of packaging materials. Because of product requirements for
temperature regulation and customer expectations, roughly
90% of our shipments are sent via air. Our logistics teams
are committed to finding ways to reduce emissions from
distribution while assuring the same high level of service to
our customers.
To understand the indirect emissions from outgoing shipments, data were collected from Promega-owned global distribution
hubs on weight, distance and mode of transportation in 2012. In previous years where data were unavailable,
emissions related to outgoing logistics have been estimated based on revenue growth.
