Chanel has validated net-zero targets and achieved 99% renewable electricity, but supply chain emissions remain opaque and growing. Scope 3 purchased goods surged 70% from 2021–2023 despite headline reductions. Weak circularity action, no public water metrics, and private ownership limit accountability.
