Significant gapsPending Review

Vivienne Westwood talks sustainability loudly but delivers quietly. No Scope 3 emissions disclosed despite global supply chain; no quantified targets, no science-based commitments, no water or waste data. Multiple independent sources (Good On You, Remake, Eluxe) document a persistent gap between high-profile climate rhetoric and absent operational performance.
