Schroders scores 42/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Schroders joint 299th of 790 companies scored, and joint 11th of 46 in Financial Services / Banking.
Schroders has decarbonised operations rapidly—56% Scope 1 cuts since 2019, 100% renewable electricity achieved—but its core financed-emissions footprint remains unabated. Portfolio temperature alignment is intensity-based, not absolute. Strongest weakness: absence of hard Scope 3 financed-emissions reduction targets.
