Ørsted A/S scores 63/100 (Leading practice) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Ørsted A/S joint 6th of 809 companies scored, and 1st of 2 in Renewable Energy / Clean Energy Generation.
Ørsted has executed the energy sector's most dramatic decarbonisation: 98% reduction in operational emissions intensity since 2006, coal exit complete, 99% renewables by 2025. The critical weakness is rising absolute Scope 3 emissions (5.6 Mt to 8.8 Mt, 2023–2025) driven by gas sales and coal disposal—offsetting world-class operational performance.
