Pact Coffee operates with genuine sustainability awareness but fundamental transparency gaps undermine its claims. No Scope 3 emissions data published despite supply chain being the dominant carbon source. Operational carbon neutrality relies on offsets rather than elimination. B Corp certification provides governance but masks the absence of quantified targets and science-based commitments.
