Kingfisher 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 October 2026.
That places Kingfisher joint 285th of 809 companies scored, and joint 15th of 46 in Retail (non-fashion).
Kingfisher has reduced operational emissions 66% since 2016/17 and sourced 95% of electricity from zero-carbon sources, but Scope 3 coverage remains partial—only 2 of 15 categories disclosed. Water management lacks formal targets. Vendor decarbonisation is underway but verification incomplete.
