Weleda has genuine sustainability anchors—B Corp recertified, UEBT-certified sourcing, biodynamic farming—but critical emissions data gaps undermine credibility. No published Scope 1, 2, or 3 tonnage figures despite 8.3% revenue growth in 2024. Self-set 2040 net-zero targets lack SBTi validation. Strong on biodiversity and transparency, weak on quantified carbon accountability.
