Minor Figures claims carbon neutrality since 2018 but publishes no emissions data, Scope 3 figures, or absolute reduction targets—relying entirely on offsets without transparency. Core weaknesses: zero disclosed operational or supply chain emissions, no renewable energy strategy, absent water monitoring despite oat production's water footprint, and outdated sustainability reporting (FY21 report from December 2022).
