ICG has delivered measurable operational decarbonisation—85% Scope 1+2 reduction, SBTi-validated targets, 100% renewable electricity—but material financed emissions lack absolute quantification. Nature, water, and waste disclosure remain minimal. Strong governance and clean controversy record offset weak supply-chain transparency.
