VF Corp has credible carbon measurement and SBTi-validated targets, but is significantly off track on Scope 3 supply chain emissions—still 19% above baseline with five years to meet a 33% reduction commitment. Renewable energy penetration dropped from 36% to 29%, and circularity remains marginal against total production volumes.
