Aggreko discloses multi-year emissions data and renewable electricity at 63% of its facilities, but its Scope 3 target is intensity-based, and Scope 3 (13.1M tCO₂e a year, mostly fuel burned in its rented generators) is far larger than its own operations. It has no SBTi validation, no quantified nature or waste metrics, and no third-party verification of its supply chain emissions.
Aggreko scores 35/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Nobody can pay to change a score, speed it up or hide it. Last verified October 2026.
That places Aggreko joint 572nd of 1,023 companies scored, and joint 11th of 19 in Industrial Equipment / Machinery.
