The Coca-Cola Company scores 2 points higher than PepsiCo, Inc. on SINK's sustainability index.
The Coca-Cola Company is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 36/100 vs PepsiCo, Inc.'s 34/100 — a difference of 2 points.
The Coca-Cola Company scores 36/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). Coca-Cola has weakened major sustainability targets across plastic, agriculture, and carbon while facing active greenwashing lawsuits and remaining the world's #1 plastic polluter for six consecutive years. Scope 3 emissions are rising, absolute progress stalled, and the company shifted baseline years without disclosing new reduction percentages. Water replenishment is the sole credible programme.
PepsiCo, Inc. scores 34/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). PepsiCo reports comprehensive climate and water metrics with third-party verification, yet weakened major targets in May 2025—pushing net-zero to 2050 and cutting its 2030 emissions reduction from 75% to 50%. Multiple active lawsuits allege plastic-recycling greenwashing. The company meets disclosure standards but credibility is undermined by rollbacks and unresolved legal allegations.
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.
