Ernst & Young Global Limited (EY) scores 58/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Ernst & Young Global Limited (EY) joint 16th of 596 companies scored, and joint 2nd of 9 in Consulting / Professional Services.
EY has cut absolute emissions 40% since FY19 despite growing 41% in revenue, reaching 88% renewable electricity. However, supply chain scope 3 mapping remains incomplete, water data is absent globally, and governance gaps persist. Recent regulatory fines for audit misconduct (SEC $100M, FRC £4.9M) undermine credibility on internal controls.
