Johnson & Johnson reports comprehensive climate data with third-party verification but stalls on emissions reduction where it matters most: Scope 3 emissions are flat year-on-year despite revenue growth, and net-zero validation lapsed without revalidation. Nature and biodiversity impact remains largely unquantified. Systemic governance failures evident in 90,000+ talc litigation cases and deforestation-linked palm sourcing.
