Our verdict

Yondr reported 150,664 tCO2e in 2025, up from 42,667 t in 2024, but that leaves out purchased goods and capital goods, the materials and equipment for its buildings, so the size deduction for an incomplete footprint (0.70x) applies. It says 51.7% of its energy is renewable, using certificates, with no contract share published. It discloses that clients also claim those certificates on 58% of its 2025 electricity. Its net zero 2030 goal for its own emissions has no outside validation and expects to use offsets. Two sites negatively affect protected or key biodiversity areas.

Yondr scores 28/100 (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 November 2026.

That places Yondr joint 775th of 988 companies scored, and 31st of 32 in Construction / Real Estate.
