Revolut measures emissions but publishes no absolute figures, sets no targets, and discloses no trajectory despite rapid growth doubling headcount and revenue. Scope 3 emissions—98% of its footprint—remain unquantified. Financed emissions from its lending portfolio are entirely unreported. The company has a clean environmental record but is operationally opaque.
Revolut scores 36/100 (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.
