Below expectationsPending Review

Montblanc publishes no brand-level sustainability data, relying entirely on parent Richemont's group reporting. Emissions figures, supply chain footprint, water impact, and nature risk remain undisclosed at brand level. Renewable energy is 97% group-wide but relies on certificates, not PPAs. SBTi targets exist but Scope 3 is intensity-only, allowing absolute emissions to rise.
