Our verdict

Beryl is a small UK micromobility operator with substantive circular design, SBTi-validated targets, and clean environmental governance. Weaknesses: no public Scope 1/2/3 tonnage disclosure, absent multi-year absolute emissions trajectory, no long-term net-zero target, and reliance on offsets for residual carbon despite reduction-first positioning.

Beryl scores 50/100 (Making progress) 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 June 2026.

That places Beryl joint 155th of 1,023 companies scored, and 1st of 3 in Ride-hailing / Mobility Platforms.
