Chanel reports comprehensive emissions data and secured SBTi-validated net-zero 2040 targets, but Scope 3 purchased goods emissions surged 70% from 2021–2023, contradicting overall reduction claims. Water strategy remains unquantified, circular economy targets are absent, and as a private company Chanel avoids shareholder accountability.
