Below expectationsPending Review+3 since last review

Oddbox's core business—rescuing surplus produce—delivers genuine food waste impact but masks weak emissions transparency. The company calculates carbon footprints but publishes no tonnage data. Scope 1/2/3 figures remain private. Net-zero 2030 lacks interim milestones or external validation. B Corp certification and clean controversy record are genuine strengths; operational data disclosure is not.
