Below expectationsPending Review

Rolex published its first public sustainability report in 2024 after decades of secrecy, disclosing a 38% absolute carbon reduction since 2021 driven by sourcing decisions. SBTi-verified targets and strong gold recycling are genuine. Weaknesses: fossil fuel reliance unchallenged, no external audit of claims, supply chain biodiversity risks unquantified, renewable energy adoption absent.
