Limited evidence. Published with 2 independent parties, below our full-confidence threshold of 3. Every source cited on this page passed the same quality checks as any other score: all live, none from data aggregators. There is simply less of it.
Computacenter has delivered genuine Scope 1 & 2 carbon neutrality since 2022 and holds SBTi-validated targets. Its circular device recovery programme is quantified and embedded in executive pay. The critical gap: Scope 3 represents 99.9% of emissions with no verified reduction trajectory, and biodiversity and water impact remain entirely unaddressed.
Computacenter scores 54/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified August 2026.
That places Computacenter joint 64th of 847 companies scored, and 2nd of 33 in Electronics / Hardware.
