Taylor Wimpey scores 42/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places Taylor Wimpey joint 238th of 699 companies scored, and joint 9th of 20 in Construction / Real Estate.
Taylor Wimpey has strong climate targets (SBTi-validated, net zero by 2045) and operational carbon reporting, but supply chain emissions remain 99% of its footprint with only modest reductions. A £488k water pollution fine for reckless failures, lobbying against stronger building standards, and ongoing CMA investigation undermine credibility. Volume-dependent emissions gains mask real progress.
