Veja has built strong sourcing practices—Amazonian wild rubber, organic cotton, LWG-certified leather—and runs transparent B Corp operations. But the company is stalled on climate: no emissions targets, no data since 2021, and rapid growth almost certainly means absolute emissions have risen. Transparency without trajectory is insufficient.
