Our verdict

Repsol reports detailed emissions data and renewable capacity targets, but remains Spain's largest GHG emitter with intensity-based metrics disguising weak absolute progress. Greenwashing complaints upheld in UK and Spain; ongoing fossil fuel expansion contradicts climate claims. Policy engagement actively opposes EU climate regulation.

Repsol scores 21/100 (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 May 2026.

That places Repsol joint 884th of 934 companies scored, and 3rd of 18 in Oil & Gas.

The ten questions

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

Strongest on Carbon Footprint: Operations and Transparency & Accountability (7/10, 6/10). Weakest on Controversies & Red Flags and Nature & Biodiversity Impact (2/10, 3/10).
