Oatly publishes detailed sustainability data and leads on product-level carbon transparency, but absolute emissions surged 31% in 2024 while per-liter intensity rose 15%. Intensity-only targets lack SBTi validation. A 2023 greenwashing settlement and 2022 ASA ad bans expose systematic overclaim of environmental benefits.
