Zoom Communications scores 57/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Zoom Communications joint 22nd of 596 companies scored, and 7th of 43 in SaaS / Digital Services.
Zoom has cut operational emissions 56% year-on-year and secured 94% renewable energy coverage through Equinix partnerships. But Scope 3 emissions have ballooned 254% since 2021, supplier engagement is absent, and the company has no biodiversity policy, water targets, or dedicated sustainability leadership despite operating a global platform.
