Chevron scores 12/100 (Critical concern) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Chevron joint 803rd of 809 companies scored, and joint 13th of 14 in Oil & Gas.
Chevron's sustainability record is defined by rising absolute emissions, intensity-only targets that allow production growth to outpace efficiency gains, and systematic obstruction of climate policy. The company reports Scope 1 & 2 emissions with third-party verification but covers only 1 of 15 Scope 3 categories. An unresolved $9.5B judgment for 16 billion gallons of Amazon contamination, FTC greenwashing complaints, and InfluenceMap's ranking as the most obstructive oil company on climate policy expose fundamental misalignment between stated commitments and corporate action.
