Halfords scores 43/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Halfords joint 285th of 809 companies scored, and joint 15th of 46 in Retail (non-fashion).
Halfords has published SBTi-aligned targets but is moving backwards: Scope 1+2 emissions rose 8.5% year-on-year, renewable electricity remains at zero, and Scope 3 is unmeasured despite dominating the footprint. The company discloses formally as a listed retailer but lacks third-party verification, nature assessment, and credible execution evidence.
