Selfridges has set absolute emissions reduction targets and claims 100% renewable energy, but provides no quantified Scope 1, 2, or 3 data post-2022. Supply chain engagement covers only 19% of 4,900 suppliers. The company quietly exited The Fashion Pact in 2023 without explanation. Circular economy pilots exist but lack verified waste metrics.
