Swatch Group reports declining absolute emissions across Scopes 1–2 (31% since 2021) and Scope 3 (27% since 2023), but has no group Scope 3 target yet, although Scope 3 is 96% of its footprint. Renewable electricity reaches 57%; heat remains partly fossil. Nature and circular economy disclosures are thin. The group itself has no SBTi-validated targets; one of its brands, Blancpain, does.
