Houdini Sportswear scores 24/100 (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 Houdini Sportswear joint 705th of 790 companies scored, and 37th of 40 in Apparel (Durable / Outdoor).
Houdini publishes ambitious planetary-boundaries science but does not quantify its actual emissions. Fabric use grew 70% in a decade while virgin synthetics stayed at 48%. Missing: GHG inventory, SBTi target, renewable energy disclosure, water monitoring, biodiversity metrics. Circular product claims are self-reported and unverified.
