Making progressPending Review-7 since last review

Deloitte reports comprehensive multi-scope emissions data with SBTi-validated net-zero targets, but absolute emissions reduction is glacial at 7% over five years. The critical weakness: material complicity in fossil fuel auditing and consulting undermines credibility. Supply chain scope remains methodologically incomplete and unverified globally.
