Melrose Industries scores 39/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Melrose Industries joint 268th of 591 companies scored, and joint 1st of 32 in Aerospace.
Melrose discloses Scope 1&2 emissions and has SBTi-validated targets, but excludes Category 11 (in-use product emissions)—the material Scope 3 category for aerospace. Absolute emissions reductions unconfirmed despite revenue growth. Renewable energy target unmet, external assurance incomplete.
