Raspberry Pi reports Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, with product life-cycle assessments, but all three rose in 2025 and it says it is not setting carbon targets. It buys carbon removal credits for its Scope 1 and 2, publishes nothing on water or nature, and its figures are not assured.
Raspberry Pi scores 40/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified November 2026.
That places Raspberry Pi joint 464th of 1,118 companies scored, and joint 16th of 48 in Electronics / Hardware.
What is Raspberry Pi doing well, and where does it fall short?
Strongest on Controversies & Red Flags and Carbon Footprint: Operations (8/10, 6/10). Weakest on Emissions Trajectory and Water Impact (0/10, 0/10).

How is Raspberry Pi's SINK score calculated?
Same ten questions for every company. No private weighting.
SINK = (0.3 × Base + 0.7 × Performance) × ScaleWhat evidence is Raspberry Pi's score based on?
14 sources used in this assessment. All publicly available. Each row shows which of the ten questions it informed.
57% of them were published by Raspberry Pi itself; the rest come from independent sources.
Raspberry Pi prints its FY2025 Scope 3 emissions as two lines, products (60,169 tCO2e) and spend-based purchases (2,209 tCO2e); the Scope 3 figure shown is our sum of those lines, and the total adds its Scope 1 (33.4 tCO2e) and Scope 2 (72.5 tCO2e).
“Scope 1 emissions (tCO e) Direct emissions from energy 33.4 28.5”
“Together, we produced a full LCA for the products in scope.”
“MicroGreen and ACT were built to enable engineers to quantify the embodied carbon of hardware”
“currently covers 33% of our electricity use.”
“The facility generates a portion of its own power using over 1700 on-site solar panels”
“we mitigate this risk by pledging to manufacture our core products for extended periods.”
“and also saved 55 tonnes of paper, every year.”
“its operations boast a carbon efficiency greater than 90%”
“each credit represents support for the removal of 6.5kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere”
“Raspberry Pi have obtained the Green Economy Mark, based on the energy efficiency benefits of their computers.”
“a designation awarded to companies generating at least 50% of their revenue from environmentally sustainable products and services”
“Raspberry Pi claims that purchasing one of its carbon removal credits will support the removal of 6.5kg of CO2 from the atmosphere.”
“When Raspberry Pi floated on the London Stock Exchange on 11th June 2024”

The 3 companies in the sector scoring nearest above Raspberry Pi.
Infineon cut its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 83.6% from 2019, beating its 70% interim target, but its Scope 3 rose from 1.49 Mt to 2.55 Mt over the same period.
See the breakdown →Siltronic's total footprint fell to 2.7 MtCO2e in 2025 and its own market-based emissions are 31% below 2021, but the cut comes from buying certificates while its energy use rises.
See the breakdown →HP has built genuinely strong absolute carbon reductions (27% since 2019) and SBTi-validated targets including a 90% reduction by 2040.
