Miller & Carter operates under SBTi-validated net-zero targets with strong operational emissions reporting and renewable energy deployment. However, beef dominance creates a critical supply-chain blind spot: Scope 3 targets are notably weaker than Scope 1&2, nature and water impacts remain largely unquantified, and biodiversity risk is explicitly deferred to 'future collaboration.' Operational waste performance masks upstream vulnerabilities.
Miller & Carter scores 47/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
M&B acknowledges food industry biodiversity impact but frames it as 'future focus area on which we plan to collaborate.' No deforestation commitment, TNFD disclosure, or biodiversity targets found.
M&B acknowledges food industry's 'significant impact on water consumption' but no water usage data, reduction targets, or stewardship programmes identified.
However, beef-dominated supply chain faces material emissions exposure with no specific supplier-level reductions evidenced.
