Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. scores 9 points higher than Morgan Stanley on SINK's sustainability index.
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 36/100 vs Morgan Stanley's 27/100 — a difference of 9 points.
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. scores 36/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). Goldman Sachs reports robust operational emissions management but masks the true climate impact: $87.2B in fossil fuel financing since 2021 makes financed emissions the overwhelming material issue, yet the bank discloses only intensity targets, not absolute reductions. Greenwashing fines, Climate Action 100+ exit, and top-10 fossil fuel rankings contradict net zero rhetoric.
Morgan Stanley scores 27/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). Morgan Stanley is a top-15 global fossil fuel financier providing $82.4B to fossil fuels since 2021, directly contradicting net-zero claims. Operational emissions rose 13.55% year-on-year. Financed emissions targets lack SBTi validation and rely on unproven offsets, while the bank increased fossil fuel expansion financing to $11.7B in 2024 alone.
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.
