Orange has strong near-term emissions cuts (38.6% Scope 1+2 vs 2015) and SBTi-validated 2040 net-zero targets, but recent momentum has stalled—operational emissions rose 4.73% year-on-year in 2024. Supply chain and nature impact remain partially mapped. Water metrics are entirely absent.
Orange 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 May 2026.
