Our verdict

Robert Dyas has no emissions data, no climate targets, and no sustainability governance. Energy efficiency work since 2022 shows operational cost-saving focus, not climate strategy. Supply chain emissions unmapped. No public sustainability disclosure.

Robert Dyas scores 33/100 (Below expectations) 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 Robert Dyas joint 595th of 934 companies scored, and joint 32nd of 50 in Retail (non-fashion).
