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.
Elevance Health's operational emissions are falling and it reports 100% renewable electricity through certificates rather than direct supply. It discloses 3.59 Mt of PCAF-basis investment emissions, but its Scope 3 fell partly because it restated earlier years to remove pharmacy cost-of-goods emissions. No nature-risk assessment was found, and it pays dues to the US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable.
Elevance Health scores 49/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified October 2026.
