Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA 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 July 2026.

That places Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA joint 705th of 790 companies scored, and joint 11th of 23 in Airlines / Aviation.

Norwegian Air Shuttle discloses emissions under GHG Protocol and CDP, but absolute emissions rose 18–20% year-on-year despite intensity improvements. The airline relies on an intensity-only 2030 target without SBTi validation, has no verified supply chain carbon programme, and faces regulatory penalties for EU ETS non-compliance and greenwashing enforcement action.
