Candy Kittens has calculated its carbon footprint via ClimatePartner but publishes no emissions figures or reduction targets. Its carbon neutral claim relies on offsets, not cuts, and was flagged by the Changing Markets Foundation as greenwashing. Packaging waste reduction and palm oil avoidance are substantive, but absolute emissions trajectory remains opaque.
