Nando's scores 37/100 (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 Nando's joint 424th of 809 companies scored, and 17th of 49 in Food Service / Restaurants.
Nando's operates 1,200+ outlets globally with minimal public emissions data despite SBTi validation. Supply chain deforestation and active 2025 water pollution allegations expose fundamental weaknesses in accountability. Intensity-based targets and UK-only renewable electricity claims mask unresolved operational and supply chain impact.
