Significant gapsPending Review

JLR reports operational emissions reductions and renewable energy progress at UK sites, but critical weaknesses undermine credibility: Scope 3 targets are intensity-based despite 22% sales growth, making absolute emissions reductions unlikely. Supply chain deforestation linked to leather suppliers remains unresolved. Active litigation over NOx defeat devices and DPF defects affects 39,000+ vehicles.
