Rivian reports comprehensively on carbon footprint and has signed major renewable PPAs, but absolute emissions doubled year-on-year as production scaled. No SBTi validation. Georgia factory site violations for water pollution and 2,000 acres of agricultural conversion signal weak local environmental governance.
