Kuehne + Nagel International scores 32/100 (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 Kuehne + Nagel International joint 533rd of 809 companies scored, and joint 7th of 17 in Shipping / Logistics.
Kuehne+Nagel reports comprehensive GHG data across all scopes, but absolute emissions rose 16% year-on-year in 2024 despite claimed baselines. Scope 3 dominates at 98% of total emissions; supplier engagement remains patchy. The 2025 shift to intensity-based Scope 3 targets weakens climate credibility. Biodiversity and water stewardship lack quantified commitments.
