ASOS is a fast-fashion retailer with minimal climate progress and severe greenwashing issues. Scope 3 emissions remain undisclosed since 2022, the company abandoned its 2030 net-zero target, and over 89% of its green claims were found to be misleading. Supply chain biodiversity and water impacts are unmapped and unaddressed.

ASOS scores 21/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

That places ASOS joint 797th of 847 companies scored, and 13th of 21 in Apparel (Fast Fashion).
