Holland & Barrett discloses almost no emissions data despite operating 800+ stores globally and partnering with Anthesis since 2022. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 figures are public; no renewable energy strategy exists; targets are vague aspirations without timelines. Ownership by LetterOne, which held stakes in fossil fuel companies Wintershall Dea and Harbour Energy, creates a direct fossil fuel link at group level.
