Holland & Barrett has published almost no emissions data, renewable energy strategy, or sustainability targets despite operating 800+ stores globally. Its parent company LetterOne holds stakes in fossil fuel producers Wintershall Dea and Harbour Energy, creating structural misalignment with climate goals. Internal ESG work exists but remains hidden from public view.
