Pact Coffee has built a credible small-scale sustainability operation with B Corp certification and direct farmer relationships, but critical weaknesses undermine its impact claims: zero published Scope 3 data despite it being the dominant emissions source, reliance on offsets rather than absolute reductions, no science-based targets, and growing volumes with no emissions trajectory disclosed.
