Primary claim: "sustainability claim"
What the claims cover

Scope 3 — the supply chain: The ingredient supply chain is where the real work happens, and Dr. Bronner's has deep, audited relationships here.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
