Abercrombie & Fitch discloses operations emissions and maps Scope 3 categories but has no Scope 3 reduction target—a critical failure where supply chain emissions represent 92% of the total footprint. Fast-fashion business model, unverified SBTi commitments, and partial renewable energy coverage reveal a company making incremental moves while structural emissions drivers remain unaddressed.
