Computacenter scores 54/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Computacenter joint 44th of 591 companies scored, and 2nd of 25 in Electronics / Hardware.
Computacenter has delivered genuine Scope 1 & 2 carbon neutrality since 2022 and holds SBTi-validated targets. Its circular device recovery programme is quantified and embedded in executive pay. The critical gap: Scope 3 represents 99.9% of emissions with no verified reduction trajectory, and biodiversity and water impact remain entirely unaddressed.
