easyJet scores 1 point higher than Ryanair on SINK's sustainability index.
easyJet is more sustainable according to SINK's open sustainability index, scoring 24/100 vs Ryanair's 23/100 — a difference of 1 points.
Ryanair scores 23/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). Ryanair is growing emissions sharply while claiming climate progress through intensity metrics alone. Absolute Scope 1 emissions rose 80% since 2022; total emissions up 7.8% in FY25. The airline relies on intensity-based SBTi targets, minimal SAF adoption (EU mandate only), and CEO statements actively contradicting its own climate strategy. Pattern of greenwashing complaints upheld by regulators.
easyJet scores 24/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). easyJet reports verified emissions but absolute CO₂ is rising 7.93% annually despite intensity improvements. The airline has no meaningful renewable energy transition, relies on intensity-based targets rather than absolute cuts, and faces multiple greenwashing accusations including EU regulatory enforcement in 2025. Weak nature disclosure and negligible SAF usage complete a picture of insufficient climate action.
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.
