Taylor Wimpey has strong climate targets (SBTi-validated, net zero by 2045) and operational carbon reporting, but supply chain emissions remain 99% of its footprint with only modest reductions. A £488k water pollution fine for reckless failures, lobbying against stronger building standards, and ongoing CMA investigation undermine credibility. Volume-dependent emissions gains mask real progress.
