Weetabix has delivered genuine Scope 1 and 2 reductions (20.54% absolute by end-2024) and secured SBTi validation of near-term and net-zero targets. Dominant weaknesses: Scope 3 absolute figures remain undisclosed despite wheat representing 37% of footprint; no TNFD biodiversity disclosure; incomplete public transparency on carbon baselines and water consumption figures.
