BP p.l.c. scores 1 point higher than Shell on SINK.
BP p.l.c. is more sustainable according to SINK's scores, scoring 20/100 vs Shell's 19/100, a difference of 1 points.
Shell scores 19/100 on SINK (Significant gaps). Shell's sustainability record is dominated by its refusal to set absolute Scope 3 targets, weakened climate goals, and a planned LNG expansion that directly contradicts net-zero rhetoric. Operational emissions fell mainly due to asset sales, not decarbonisation. Multiple regulatory and advertising violations underscore weak accountability.
BP p.l.c. scores 20/100 on SINK (Significant gaps). BP is intensifying fossil fuel expansion while abandoning renewable energy targets and weakening absolute emissions commitments. Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions rose in 2024 despite claimed reductions. Active litigation over climate deception, greenwashing rulings, and trade association opposition to climate policy reveal systematic misalignment with net-zero claims.
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.
