Van Cleef & Arpels hides behind Richemont's group-level reporting with no brand-specific sustainability disclosure. Absolute emissions are rising, Scope 3 targets are intensity-only, and supply chain transparency is minimal. Precious materials sourcing—gold, diamonds, gemstones—remains unverified for environmental impact.
