Cartier hides behind parent company Richemont's disclosures, offering no brand-level sustainability data despite being a €5B+ jewellery business. Scope 3 emissions have risen 753% since 2018 on absolute terms while targets remain intensity-only. A 2023 greenwashing scandal involving false Indigenous partnership claims remains unresolved.
