Our verdict

Graze publishes impact commitments but lacks quantified emissions baselines or science-aligned targets. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 GHG Protocol disclosures exist despite operating a dedicated UK manufacturing facility. B Corp certification and waste reduction claims are dated; no post-2022 updates confirm progress. Carbon neutral 2030 pledge is unsubstantiated.

Graze scores 31/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified May 2026.

That places Graze joint 698th of 1,023 companies scored, and joint 45th of 51 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
