Etsy scores 49/100 (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 Etsy joint 161st of 807 companies scored, and 4th of 19 in E-commerce / Online Retail.
Etsy has solid operational emissions reporting and renewable energy procurement, but absolute Scope 3 emissions—99% of its footprint—rose 2% in 2024 and are up 504% since 2014. Its net-zero target relies on intensity metrics for supply chain emissions, not absolute reductions. Greenwashing allegations and offset dependence undermine credibility.
