Wise scores 40/100 (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 Wise joint 358th of 809 companies scored, and joint 15th of 46 in Financial Services / Banking.
Wise discloses a single 2022 emissions figure (33,952 tCO2e) without Scope 3 breakdown, third-party verification, or updated data despite rapid growth doubling headcount and tripling revenue. No science-based targets, no renewable energy percentage, and emissions trajectory remains unmeasured. The company offsets rather than reduces.
