easyJet scores 25/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.

That places easyJet joint 675th of 781 companies scored, and joint 8th of 23 in Airlines / Aviation.

easyJet publishes verified emissions data and holds an SBTi-validated intensity target, but absolute emissions rose 43% year-on-year while the airline remains 99%+ dependent on fossil jet fuel. Supply chain emissions are largely unmeasured, and recent regulatory findings and NGO warnings expose greenwashing in net-zero claims and offset reliance.
