Project Gigaton has successfully avoided significant supplier emissions, but its immense global shipping, logistics, and retail operations remain highly carbon-intensive.
Promotes chemical transparency and restricted substance lists among its suppliers, but retail waste streams remain high.
Historically subject to severe criticism for low employee wages, anti-union behavior, and weak labor enforcement in import supply chains.
