Green People is a 30-person cosmetics manufacturer with a clean ethical record but almost no measured environmental data. It sources organic ingredients, donates 10%+ profits to conservation, and avoids greenwashing—but publishes zero emissions figures, no targets, and no formal sustainability governance. Small scale masks the absence of rigor.
