Tomra Systems ASA scores 44/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified June 2026.

That places Tomra Systems ASA joint 183rd of 596 companies scored, and 1st of 4 in Industrial Equipment / Machinery.

TOMRA operates a credible emissions reporting and SBTi-approved decarbonisation framework, but absolute emissions nearly doubled year-on-year, driven by Scope 3 expansion. Scope 3 targets remain intensity-based, not absolute. Operations and governance are solid; the core weakness is trajectory — growth outpacing decarbonisation.
