Below expectationsPending Review

Morrisons has achieved SBTi validation and set ambitious absolute emissions targets to 2050, but energy transition remains partial—only 20% solar planned—and full Scope 3 disclosure lags behind peers. Supply chain measurement is incomplete despite acknowledged 98% emissions concentration there. Paper bag greenwashing criticism unresolved.
