Method Products hides behind parent SC Johnson's vague sustainability claims while dodging material disclosure. Supply chain emissions—80-90% of total—are entirely unreported. A 2021 settlement for misleading 'non-toxic' marketing reveals greenwashing that persists across multiple review platforms.
