Below expectationsPending Review

Honeywell reports intensity-only emissions progress while obscuring absolute figures, relies on unverified offsets for 2035 carbon neutrality, and maintains memberships in climate-obstructing trade groups. A systemic pattern of environmental contamination across 15+ Superfund sites—penalised $446M+ since 2000—exposes the gap between sustainability messaging and operational reality.
