TOMRA operates a credible emissions reporting and SBTi-approved decarbonisation framework, but absolute emissions nearly doubled year-on-year, driven by Scope 3 expansion. Scope 3 targets remain intensity-based, not absolute. Operations and governance are solid; the core weakness is trajectory — growth outpacing decarbonisation.
