Our verdict

LCP reports only its own operations' emissions and car travel, 130 tCO2e in its 2025/26 year, and leaves the rest of its supply chain 'not quantified'. Its electricity is matched with renewable certificates, but it calls itself carbon neutral through undisclosed offsets and has no dated reduction target, with a roadmap first promised in 2021 still not published. Its reporting also leaves out its Irish and international businesses.

LCP scores 36/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified November 2026.

That places LCP joint 512th of 934 companies scored, and 26th of 29 in Consulting / Professional Services.
