Saudi Aramco is the world's largest corporate emitter, refusing to disclose Scope 3 emissions (~1.6–1.84 Gt CO₂e annually, 4.4% of global emissions). Operational emissions are rising, targets are intensity-only while production expands, and the company actively lobbies against climate action. Scope 3 non-disclosure alone is disqualifying.
Saudi Aramco scores 12/100 (Critical concern) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.

Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
No company globally has a larger undisclosed Scope 3 footprint.
Targets are intensity-based only; company expects intensity to rise further.
Aramco's 12 GW renewable target by 2030 generates credits, not operational energy shift.
