No direct obligation: the $1B threshold sits far above Straus. It arrives through buyers instead — in-scope reporters disclose full value-chain emissions starting 2027, and those numbers are assembled from supplier data requests. The first Scope 1·2 reports were deferred to November 10, 2026; the statute survived Ninth Circuit review that stayed its sibling. ^{14 15 16 22}

The $500M threshold is also above Straus, and enforcement of the first report was stayed by the Ninth Circuit in November 2025; CARB ran a voluntary docket through July 1, 2026. When it returns, the mechanism is buyer-side risk narrative — which reads on supplier data too. ^{17 16 18}

Regulations effective May 1, 2026. Reusable and refillable packaging is excluded from covered material — the returnable glass system sits structurally outside the obligation the rest of the category now pays for. Caps, tubs, and film remain covered and priced. ^{19 20 21}

Suppliers to Amazon and its subsidiaries — Whole Foods among them — are required to share carbon emissions data and set reduction goals, effective 2024. This is the nearest live data request in the Straus channel mix. ^{23 13}

A validated science-based target that includes Scope 3 is measured through purchased-goods data — supplier numbers. Safeway is a Straus retail channel; the target's math eventually asks for dairy's share. ^{24 13}
