Significant gapsPending Review-7 since last review

P&G achieves strong operational emissions reductions but masks a fundamentally unaligned business model. Scope 3 emissions rising 22.7% annually puts the company on a +3°C trajectory. Five active greenwashing lawsuits, NRDC SEC complaint, and documented boreal forest degradation reveal systematic misleading of investors on core sustainability claims.
