Liz Earle files Scope 1 and 2 figures in its accounts, which don't say whether its Cowes factory is covered. Its only Scope 3 line is staff travel. It has a goal of 100% recyclable packaging by 2030. No emissions target, renewable energy share or water data was found. A 2023 claim of a Carbon Neutral Company certification names no certifier.
