Brambles demonstrates solid carbon accounting and ambitious near-term targets, tracking ahead of SBTi glidepath. Critical gaps: water use entirely unquantified, Scope 3 reduction partly driven by lower pallet volumes rather than structural decarbonisation, and carbon neutrality still relies on credit purchases for residuals.
