Our verdict

Proper Snacks has built genuine B Corp governance and plant-based positioning but fails to measure what matters. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data exists despite stating 2030 net zero. Supply chain and water impacts remain unmeasured. Packaging reductions and no-palm-oil commitments show intent; transparency and controversy profiles are clean.

Proper Snacks scores 42/100 (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 May 2026.

That places Proper Snacks joint 362nd of 1,023 companies scored, and joint 23rd of 51 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
