Both companies are tied at 26/100 on SINK's sustainability index.
Tesla, Inc. scores 26/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). Tesla reports rising absolute emissions across all scopes despite intensity improvements, lacks SBTi targets or net-zero commitment, and faces multiple upheld regulatory penalties for environmental violations. CEO actions actively undermine US climate infrastructure. Strong renewable energy procurement and battery recycling gains are offset by unresolved cobalt supply-chain allegations and water risks at new facilities.
Toyota Motor scores 26/100 on the SINK sustainability index (Significant gaps). Toyota claims aggressive climate action while actively lobbying against emissions standards globally and funding climate deniers. Scope 3 emissions dominate at 584 Mt CO₂e with only intensity targets, not absolute reductions. Greenwashing complaints, regulatory fines, and InfluenceMap's lowest-ranked automaker status expose fundamental misalignment between stated commitments and actual behavior.
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.
