Lush has rebuilt its environmental reporting substantially in FY24, achieving 100% renewable electricity and quantifying Scope 3 across major categories. But total emissions rose 2.1% since FY22, no science-aligned reduction targets exist, and 93.8% of its footprint—primarily supply chain and customer use—lacks a credible absolute reduction pathway.
