Tonight's World Cup sponsors, scored on climate. Average: 31/100.

Restaurants have a hygiene rating in the window. Companies have nothing like it for climate — so we built one.

SINK scores companies 0–100 using only their own public records: how much they pollute, what they've promised to change, and the evidence behind both. Same checklist for every company. Results published whether they engage or not. Nobody can pay for a better score. The full methodology is open — you can check the working on every number below.

Tonight, seven companies hold FIFA Partner status — the top sponsorship tier, logos on every board at the most-watched sporting event on Earth¹. Here is their rating in the window:

Average: 31/100.³ Nobody reaches the top half of the scale.

Three things this table tells you

1. The winner isn't a climate leader — it just pollutes less by accident. Visa tops the table at 51 largely because moving money produces far less pollution than moving cars, planes, or oil. That's the business model, not a green strategy. A 51 leads this table and still doesn't clear the top half of the scale.

2. What companies don't publish counts against them — because it should. These scores measure public evidence. Qatar Airways scores 20 not necessarily because of what it does, but because of how little it proves. From the outside, undisclosed and undone look identical — and a rating that gave credit for silence would be worthless. If any of these companies has better evidence, there's a process for submitting it. The score changes when the evidence does. Neither type of payment changes a score.

3. The bottom of the table is simple arithmetic. Saudi Aramco scores 12. Not because we dislike oil companies, but because our formula ties scores to total real-world emissions, counts no offsets, and Aramco is the world's largest corporate greenhouse gas emitter — around 1.8 billion tonnes of CO₂e a year including the burning of its products, more than any country except China, the US and India.⁴ Aramco's own reporting covers a fraction of that: 72.6 million tonnes, its operational emissions only.⁵ Any rater using public math gets a number like this. Raters using private math don't publish this table next to a sponsor's logo — which is why you haven't seen it before.

Why this matters beyond tonight

Companies grade their own climate homework, or pay raters who mark it in private. That's the system. A public standard — same questions, same math, results in the window — is the alternative, and this table is what it produces on its first big night out.
