Pets at Home has credible operational carbon targets (SBTi-validated, 42% Scope 1+2 reduction by 2030) and has achieved a genuine 44% absolute reduction since 2016 while growing sales 87%. But Scope 3—over 97% of its footprint—lacks verified reduction evidence. Water impact is unreported. Nature risks from pet food supply chains are acknowledged but not formally managed.
