Superdrug publishes almost no environmental data of its own. Parent company AS Watson Group has SBTi-validated targets and strong Scope 1&2 performance, but Superdrug's operational and supply chain emissions remain undisclosed. The biggest gaps: zero water reporting, no entity-level carbon trajectory, and minimal transparency beyond parent-company rollups.
Same formula for every company. No curve. No private weighting.
