SEGRO sustainability score: 38/100
Better than 36% of Construction / Real Estate
Making progress starts at 46. The highest score on SINK is 71.
SEGRO is a UK-listed REIT founded in 1920 and headquartered in Slough, operating industrial warehousing and logistics real estate across eight European countries.

SEGRO reports comprehensive GHG data with external assurance and SBTi validation, but relies entirely on intensity-based targets masking absolute emissions growth across its expanding European data centre and logistics portfolio. Nature and water impacts lack quantified footprints or portfolio-wide reduction targets despite operational scale.
SEGRO scores 38/100 (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 August 2026.
That places SEGRO joint 479th of 1,023 companies scored, and 26th of 40 in Construction / Real Estate.
What is SEGRO doing well, and where does it fall short?
