For many Georgia businesses, sustainability starts inside their own operations. But as more companies dig into their data, a clear pattern is emerging: the majority of emissions often sit outside their direct control, embedded in supply chains, materials, and partners. That is exactly what Jacob Yarbrough, senior sustainability manager at Creature Comforts is working to address.

In our latest Drawdown Georgia Georgia Climate Digest video interview, host Eriqah Vincent sits down with Jacob to explore how one of Georgia’s leading craft breweries is taking a practical, business-minded approach to reducing emissions, with a growing focus on Scope 3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9dzCdwi-F4&t=4s&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=ap_ueonxi0mgl
