"We are committed to achieving net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2040."
Annual Sustainability Report 2024 — p.3
High
+
Why it's flagged
Net-zero claim with no published interim targets, no Scope 3 boundary definition, and no third-party verification path. Under CSRD Article 8 and ISSB S2, forward-looking climate targets require quantified pathways with base year and interim milestones.
Evidence Gaps
  • No interim targets defined (e.g. 2030, 2035)
  • Scope 3 categories included/excluded not disclosed
  • No SBTi or equivalent third-party validation
  • No transition plan or capital allocation disclosed
Applicable Frameworks
ISSB S2 para. 21(a), CSRD/ESRS E1-4, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard Chapter 9
"Our operations are 100% powered by renewable energy."
Corporate Website — About Us
High
+
Why it's flagged
Renewable energy claim lacks specification of whether this is achieved via on-site generation, PPAs, or RECs. REC-based claims do not reduce actual grid emissions and are not compliant with GHG Protocol Scope 2 market-based methodology unless additionality is demonstrated.
Evidence Gaps
  • Source of renewable energy not disclosed (PPA, REC, on-site)
  • No Scope 2 location-based vs market-based split published
  • Coverage boundary unclear — does "operations" include leased offices?
Applicable Frameworks
GHG Protocol Scope 2 Guidance, ISSB S2 para. 29
"We offset all unavoidable emissions through verified carbon credits."
Annual Sustainability Report 2024 — p.11
High
+
Why it's flagged
Carbon offset claim with no registry, vintage year, project type, or retirement certificate disclosed. ICVCM Core Carbon Principles require full provenance disclosure. "Verified" is unsubstantiated without named verifier or registry.
Evidence Gaps
  • Registry not named (Verra, Gold Standard, etc.)
  • No retirement certificates published
  • Vintage year not disclosed
  • "Unavoidable" not defined — no residual emissions calculation shown
Applicable Frameworks
ICVCM CCP Principles, GHG Protocol Corporate Standard Appendix B
"We have reduced our carbon intensity by 32% since 2019."
Annual Sustainability Report 2024 — p.7
Medium
+
Why it's flagged
Carbon intensity reduction is substantiated with a figure but lacks the denominator definition (per revenue, per unit of production, per employee). Without this, the claim is unverifiable and may obscure absolute emission growth.
Evidence Gaps
  • Intensity metric denominator not defined
  • Absolute emissions trend not disclosed alongside intensity
  • Restatements for acquisitions/divestitures not noted
"Sustainability is embedded in every decision we make as a company."
CEO Letter — Annual Report 2024
Medium
+
Why it's flagged
Vague qualitative assertion with no governance mechanism cited. CSRD ESRS G1 requires disclosure of the sustainability governance structure, including board-level oversight and ESG metrics tied to executive remuneration.
Evidence Gaps
  • Board ESG committee or oversight structure not referenced
  • No executive remuneration tied to ESG KPIs disclosed
