Church & Dwight reports solid Scope 1 & 2 data and SBTi-validated targets, but emissions are flat year-on-year with rising waste. Heavy reliance on renewable energy credits rather than additionality, and carbon neutrality claims rest on offsets, not reduction. Biodiversity and water progress lag targets; controversies include benzene contamination and greenwashing allegations.
