Making progressPending Review

Weetabix has delivered verified absolute emissions reductions (20.54% Scope 1/2 by end-2024) and secured SBTi validation for near-term and long-term targets. However, Scope 3 emissions—where wheat alone represents 37% of footprint—lack public absolute disclosure, undermining full value-chain transparency. Governance and accountability structures remain incomplete.
