Minor Figures claims carbon neutrality since 2018 but publishes no emissions data, Scope 3 figures, or absolute reduction targets—relying entirely on offsets without transparency. Core weaknesses: zero disclosed operational or supply chain emissions, no renewable energy strategy, absent water monitoring despite oat production's water footprint, and outdated sustainability reporting (FY21 report from December 2022).
Minor Figures scores 38/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
