Porsche reports comprehensively on production emissions and renewable energy, but relies heavily on per-vehicle intensity metrics that mask flat or worsening absolute reductions. SBTi targets remain unvalidated. A 2022 settlement for emissions cheating on 500,000 vehicles and ongoing weak lobbying on climate policy undermine credibility.
Porsche scores 31/100 (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 Porsche joint 588th of 847 companies scored, and joint 7th of 24 in Automotive.
Where Porsche sits among automotive peers.
Among the 24 major automotive brands we've scored, Porsche is tied =7th of 24, with 1 other.
Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
Double materiality assessment identifies nine material topics but no TNFD disclosure, deforestation-free commitment, or quantified biodiversity footprint found.
VW Group rated 'C' on lobbying: advocated to weaken US GHG standards (2023), ACEA membership obstructed EU climate and biodiversity policy.
This is intensity, not absolute emissions.
