Below expectationsPending Review

Notpla is a mission-driven seaweed-packaging company with a genuinely low-impact product but severely underdeveloped sustainability reporting. No quantified Scope 1/2/3 emissions, no science-aligned targets, and no emissions trajectory despite rapid growth. Strength lies in core product design and B Corp accountability; weakness is systemic lack of formal GHG disclosure.
