Beyond Meat scores 44/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Beyond Meat joint 203rd of 691 companies scored, and joint 17th of 45 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
Beyond Meat reports comprehensive Scope 1 and 2 emissions with limited assurance, but lacks any Scope 3 reduction target despite supply chain representing 91% of footprint. Emissions cuts correlate with business contraction, not decarbonization strategy. Core weaknesses: no formal renewable energy plan, missing nature risk assessment, and unvalidated self-set targets. Recent legal settlements underscore credibility gaps.
