Croda International scores 44/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified October 2026.
That places Croda International joint 267th of 809 companies scored, and 2nd of 10 in Chemicals.
Croda has achieved long-term emissions reductions and secured SBTi validation for aggressive near-term targets, but recent year-on-year data shows Scope 1 rising and downstream emissions climbing. Supply chain visibility remains weak—only 23% of raw material volumes have supplier-verified GHG data. Renewable energy relies heavily on unbundled RECs, masking location-based emissions.
