Miller & Carter operates under SBTi-validated net-zero targets with strong operational emissions reporting and renewable energy deployment. However, beef dominance creates a critical supply-chain blind spot: Scope 3 targets are notably weaker than Scope 1&2, nature and water impacts remain largely unquantified, and biodiversity risk is explicitly deferred to 'future collaboration.' Operational waste performance masks upstream vulnerabilities.
