Innocent has made genuine emissions reductions and invested in renewable energy at its new factory, but intensity-based supply chain targets allow absolute emissions to rise with growth. A misleading advertising ruling, ownership by Coca-Cola, and a supplier linked to Doñana wetland water extraction expose structural greenwashing risks that its B Corp status does not fully address.
