out of 100
Below expectationsPending Review

Lavazza reports emissions and publishes annual sustainability updates, but relies heavily on offsetting for near-term targets and lacks SBTi validation. Supply chain emissions dominate the footprint yet lack verified supplier reduction programmes. Recent regulatory action on greenwashing claims and unresolved packaging-linked deforestation concerns undermine credibility.
