Below expectationsPending Review

Church & Dwight reports Scope 1+2 data with SBTi validation but delivers flat emissions, not reductions. Waste rose 10% in 2024, missing targets. Heavy reliance on offsets and RECs masks limited absolute decarbonization. Supply chain Scope 3 remains poorly managed. Greenwashing risks evident in carbon neutrality claims.
