Müller UK & Ireland discloses sustainability targets but refuses to publish absolute emissions data, making verification impossible. Scope 1&2 reduction claims lack third-party validation. Supply chain and water impacts are unquantified. Science-based targets remain unvalidated despite 2024 commitment deadline.
