Honest Burgers has built a credible supply chain intervention through regenerative beef sourcing but fails fundamentally on emissions disclosure and climate targets. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 data published; no renewable energy strategy; rapid expansion with no verified emissions trajectory. Regenerative farming is directionally right but unverified.
