JD Sports discloses multi-scope emissions and holds RE100 membership, but operational emissions are rising sharply—Scope 1 up 53% since 2021—with no absolute reductions recorded. The company is off-track for its SBTi targets. Nature and waste strategies are absent; supply chain leverage is minimal since 95% of sales come from third-party brands.
