Montblanc hides behind Richemont's group reporting, publishing no brand-level emissions, water, or nature data. Its SBTi targets use an intensity-based Scope 3 metric that permits absolute emissions to rise. No evidence of on-track delivery. Crocodile skin and leather use flagged by NGOs without mitigation strategy.
