Cartier operates under Richemont's sustainability umbrella with no standalone reporting. Scope 3 emissions have risen 753% since 2018 despite intensity targets. A 2023 greenwashing scandal involving false Amazonian claims and the absence of brand-level accountability create structural credibility gaps.
