Seventh Generation has eliminated operational emissions and quantified supply chain impact comprehensively, but emissions reductions stalled in 2024. Water disclosure is absent, palm sourcing remains risky despite RSPO commitments, and the parent company's track record undermines credibility. B Corp certification and climate advocacy don't offset weak measurement on nature and resource efficiency.
