Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 38/100 vs The Procter & Gamble Company's 26/100 — a difference of 12 points.
Henkel AG & Co. KGaA scores 38/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Below expectations). Henkel demonstrates credible absolute emissions reductions (20% since 2021) and science-based near-term targets validated by SBTi. However, supply chain data quality remains immature, nature impact is unquantified, and water targets stay intensity-based. Trade association misalignment on climate policy and a 2016 competition fine mark real governance gaps.
The Procter & Gamble Company scores 26/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). P&G has cut operational emissions 60% but Scope 3—which dominates its footprint—is rising. Forest degradation via toilet paper sourcing, five active greenwashing lawsuits, and intensity-based (not absolute) Scope 3 targets expose a company optimizing optics while core business remains linear and extractive.
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.
