GE Aerospace discloses Scope 1 and 2 emissions with third-party assurance and genuine 43% reductions, but Scope 3 — representing 99.8% of total emissions — is limited to engine use-of-life and expected to rise with travel demand. Supply chain reporting is incomplete, nature impact is unmapped, and an SEC complaint alleges systematic undercounting of Scope 3 emissions.

How is GE Aerospace's SINK score calculated?
Same ten questions for every company. No private weighting.
SINK = (0.3 × Base + 0.7 × Performance) × ScaleHas GE Aerospace's score changed?
GE Aerospace's score has moved from 26 to 30 across 2 recorded reviews, up 4 points.
- 26 → 30+429 October 2026
Correction: Scope 3 and the total had been stored in kilograms; corrected from GE Aerospace's own 2025 report (CY2024: 28.4 Mt), so the size deduction is 0.70x, not 0.60x.
