Abercrombie & Fitch scores 32/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Abercrombie & Fitch joint 533rd of 809 companies scored, and joint 7th of 20 in Apparel (Fast Fashion).
Abercrombie & Fitch discloses operational emissions transparently but has no Scope 3 target despite it representing 92% of its footprint. Renewable energy covers only headquarters and two distribution centres, leaving 700+ stores on grid power. The fast-fashion model—high-volume production with 65-70% conventional materials—structurally contradicts its limited decarbonisation commitments.
