Wetherspoon has achieved a 34% absolute reduction in Scope 1&2 emissions since 2019 and secured SBTi approval for aggressive 2033 targets. But Scope 3 disclosure is nascent, renewable energy procurement is absent, and nature/biodiversity assessment remains undeveloped. The hardest emissions cuts still lie ahead.
