Wild has built a genuine circular model around refillable deodorant, but sustainability claims rest on weak foundations: baseline emissions data only, no reduction targets, heavy reliance on offsets, and unverified renewable energy claims. The April 2025 Unilever acquisition undermines eco positioning—selling to a company with a documented greenwashing record and 18/100 ethical rating.
