Lion Finance Group has documented climate strategy and board oversight, but fails on execution. No quantified emissions reported for operations or financed portfolio despite claims of measurement. Green loans comprise just 4.3% of the book. Without verified data, the company's environmental commitments remain rhetorical.
Lion Finance scores 26/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified August 2026.
