Making progressPending Review

Azzurri Group reports emissions reductions and has implemented circular economy initiatives, but lacks third-party verification of absolute figures and has critical gaps in water monitoring. Supply chain decarbonisation is underway via Foodsteps LCAs, yet no independently verified Scope 3 totals are published. Net-zero 2040 target lacks near-term interim milestones.
