BP p.l.c. scores 2 points higher than TotalEnergies on SINK's sustainability index.
BP p.l.c. is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 20/100 vs TotalEnergies's 18/100 — a difference of 2 points.
BP p.l.c. scores 20/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). BP is retreating from decarbonization. Absolute Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions rose in 2024; the company abandoned upstream emissions targets in February 2025 and cut renewable investment by 70% while pledging $10bn/year to fossil fuels through 2027. Litigation over climate deception is active in California and Delaware.
TotalEnergies scores 18/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). TotalEnergies claims climate leadership while expanding oil and gas production 3% annually and maintaining flat absolute emissions. A 2025 Paris court ruling found the company engaged in greenwashing. Scope 3 emissions remain unchecked at 400+ Mt CO₂e, intensity targets mask production growth, and operations in sensitive ecosystems displace communities and contaminate water.
Both companies are rated on the same 10-question SINK rubric: Scope 1/2/3 carbon footprint, energy source, nature and biodiversity, resource use, water, emissions trajectory, science-based targets, transparency, and controversies. Scores are 0–100, based on public data, and fully reproducible.
