Ralph Lauren achieved strong near-term emissions reductions and 100% renewable electricity in own operations, but abandoned its 2040 net-zero target without replacement, signaling weakened long-term ambition. Scope 3 emissions rose 1% year-on-year. Supply chain engagement and nature strategy remain incomplete.
