Our verdict

Omega publishes no brand-level emissions, water, waste or target data; its footprint is reported only within The Swatch Group’s consolidated figures, which set its scale penalty but earn it no credit. Omega-level evidence is limited to its RJC certification, a biodiversity park at its Biel/Bienne site and coastal conservation projects whose outcomes are not independently verified. WWF’s 2023 rating placed it in the fourth of six tiers, and the Group’s Swiss carbon-neutrality claim rests partly on offsets.

Omega scores 27/100 (Significant gaps) 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 October 2026.

That places Omega joint 759th of 934 companies scored, and 6th of 8 in Jewellery & Watches.

The ten questions

What is Omega doing well, and where does it fall short?

Strongest on Controversies & Red Flags and Energy Source (6/10, 4/10). Weakest on Carbon Footprint: Operations and Carbon Footprint: Supply Chain (1/10, 1/10).

  • Emissions from its supply chain1/10No assessment of where its supply-chain emissions come from.
  • Whether its emissions are falling1/10No evidence its emissions are falling, not even from energy bills or mileage.
  • How clean its energy is4/10Less than half its energy shown to be renewable, or no transition plan.
  • Its effect on nature3/10No assessment of its effect on nature, and no basic environmental policy.
  • How it uses materials and handles waste2/10No active waste reduction, reuse or repair shown.
  • Its effect on water1/10No figures for its water use.
  • Its climate targets1/10No emissions reduction targets.
  • How openly it reports3/10No published sustainability data, or no one named as responsible for it.
