Pershing Square 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 August 2026.
That places Pershing Square joint 579th of 650 companies scored, and 43rd of 44 in Financial Services / Banking.
Pershing Square publishes no emissions data—operational or financed—despite $16B in assets and concentrated holdings in mid-to-high-emission businesses. No climate targets exist. Governance acknowledges ESG but lacks quantified environmental accountability or disclosure.
