Atlassian scores 55/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.

That places Atlassian joint 47th of 809 companies scored, and joint 11th of 75 in SaaS / Digital Services.

Atlassian's absolute emissions rose 129% since FY2019, driven by Scope 3 cloud and travel growth. Renewable certificates cover office electricity but mask rising operational footprint. Only 8.8% of suppliers have climate targets against a 69% goal, and the company's net-zero claim depends on a data-centre partner with no science-aligned commitment.
