Yodel measures carbon intensity but refuses to publish absolute emissions figures despite operating 191 million parcels annually across a fossil-fuel fleet. The company claims 2035 carbon neutrality without SBTi validation or a public pathway. No Scope 3 quantification, no water monitoring, and negligible nature engagement—sustainability reporting exists but lacks credible depth.
