Pinterest scores 53/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Pinterest joint 77th of 809 companies scored, and joint 15th of 75 in SaaS / Digital Services.
Pinterest has solid emissions tracking and a 19% Scope 3 reduction from 2019–2021, but most recent figures are three years old. Cloud dependency on AWS masks direct control. The company lacks formal biodiversity assessment, water disclosure, and board-level sustainability governance. Clean environmental record with proactive climate misinformation bans, but shallow commitments across resource and nature categories.
