The Swatch Group scores 49/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.

That places The Swatch Group joint 161st of 809 companies scored, and 2nd of 3 in Jewellery & Watches.

Swatch Group reports declining absolute emissions across Scopes 1–2 (31% since 2021) and Scope 3 (27% since 2023), but has no group Scope 3 target yet, although Scope 3 is 96% of its footprint. Renewable electricity reaches 57%; heat remains partly fossil. Nature and circular economy disclosures are thin. The group itself has no SBTi-validated targets; one of its brands, Blancpain, does.
