Rolls-Royce discloses Scope 1 and 2 emissions with GHG Protocol alignment and limited external assurance, but Scope 3 quantification is incomplete and absolute emissions trajectory unverified. The company has self-set 2030 and 2050 net-zero targets but SBTi validation remains pending after five years. Supply chain transparency, water data, and nature assessment are absent.
