Ella's Kitchen scores 49/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.

That places Ella's Kitchen joint 161st of 809 companies scored, and 12th of 45 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).

Ella's Kitchen has SBTi-validated emissions targets and a genuine biodiversity partnership with the RSPB, but lacks published absolute emissions data to verify progress. Supply chain measurement is improving through Foodsteps, yet operational transparency remains weak on energy sourcing and water impact.
