Compagnie Financière Richemont scores 40/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.

That places Compagnie Financière Richemont joint 358th of 809 companies scored, and 3rd of 3 in Jewellery & Watches.

Richemont has cut its own Scope 1 and 2 emissions sharply since 2019, but Scope 3, 98.7% of its footprint, is up 21.4% on the 2019 base year and its Scope 3 target is relative rather than absolute. It missed both 2025 targets (97% renewable electricity against 100%; 8.7% of suppliers with science-based targets against 20%), and part of its renewable electricity rests on unbundled certificates.
