Green People is a 30-person cosmetics manufacturer with a clean ethical record but almost no measured environmental data. It sources organic ingredients, donates 10%+ profits to conservation, and avoids greenwashing—but publishes zero emissions figures, no targets, and no formal sustainability governance. Small scale masks the absence of rigor.

Green People scores 36/100 (Below expectations) 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 Green People joint 459th of 847 companies scored, and joint 27th of 45 in FMCG / Consumer Goods.
