Johnson & Johnson is more sustainable according to SINK's scores, scoring 38/100 vs The Procter & Gamble Company's 28/100, a difference of 10 points.
Johnson & Johnson scores 38/100 on SINK (Below expectations). J&J's Scope 1 and 2 emissions fell 38% from 2021, mostly through renewable electricity instruments including unbundled certificates; Scope 1 itself fell only about 3% from 2023 to 2025. It reports Scope 3 by category but states no total, and says most of the recent fall in its largest categories comes from a 2025 methodology change. Only 37% of key suppliers have science-based targets, and its trade-association dues go to groups opposing climate policy.
The Procter & Gamble Company scores 28/100 on SINK (Significant gaps). P&G has cut its own Scope 1 and 2 emissions, but its Scope 3, mostly from consumers using its products, keeps rising, and its supply-chain targets are per unit, not absolute. Break Free From Plastic's 2023 audit named it among the top 10 global plastic polluters, and it dropped its no-degradation forest pledge in 2023.
Both companies are rated on the same 10-question SINK rubric: Scope 1/2/3 carbon footprint, energy source, nature and biodiversity, resource use, water, emissions trajectory, science-based targets, transparency, and controversies. Scores are 0–100, based on public data, and fully reproducible.
