TAG Heuer publishes no brand-level emissions, energy, water or waste figures; its footprint is reported only within LVMH’s group figures, which set its scale penalty but earn it no credit. No brand-level emissions target was found, and LVMH group targets are not credited to the brand. Its Responsible Jewellery Council certification, held since 2011 and renewed in 2026, is the main brand-level third-party evidence. Coverage of the brand is thin.
