Wagamama reports emissions and renewable energy procurement but lacks absolute reduction targets and third-party verification. Supply chain mapping is genuine, yet the farmed salmon controversy and reliance on offsetting by 2035 expose unresolved nature risks and weak decarbonisation pathway. Expansion masks operational emissions growth.
