Alliance Witan scores 25/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Alliance Witan joint 696th of 809 companies scored, and joint 43rd of 46 in Financial Services / Banking.
Alliance Witan discloses portfolio climate metrics but publishes no operational emissions data and has not quantified its financed emissions footprint across £5.1bn in assets. Its 2030 carbon intensity target is already off-track following a sharp 2024 deterioration. The trust lacks absolute emissions accountability and binding fossil fuel phase-out commitments.
