Leading practicePending Review

Sky reports comprehensive climate and environmental data with third-party verification, achieving a 40% absolute emissions reduction since 2018 toward its SBTi 50% target. Strengths include RE100 membership, zero-landfill waste, and high-profile nature campaigns. Material gaps: Scope 3 lacks independent assurance, water impact unreported, and no executive compensation linked to sustainability targets.
