Below expectationsPending Review

Kraft Heinz reports emissions data with third-party assurance but Scope 3 remains 95% of total with qualified audits and unverified categories. The company is delivering Scope 1&2 reductions but Scope 3 shows no absolute decline. Early 2025 removal of 2030 climate targets from its website signals political capitulation rather than confidence in delivery.
