Faith In Nature reported 136,291.6 tCO2e for its year to 30 June 2025. Of its Scope 3, 96% is product use, a first-time estimate that is the company's own; without product use the total rose 12.4% to 5,689.5 tCO2e, though Scope 1 fell to 27.9 tCO2e. It claims 100% renewable energy but names no supplier. Its "Carbon Balanced" label is an offset covering Scope 1 and 2 only, and its net zero by 2050 objective is self-set, with no SBTi verification. B Corp certification is not evidence of reductions. 77% of its primary packaging is 100% recycled material, but plastic use rose from 163 to 194 tonnes; searches found no regulator ruling.
