The ClimateTicker Green Score

A single 0–100 score that answers the question a climate-minded investor actually has: does this company genuinely help — and can I trust its claims? Every company is scored on the same transparent rubric, and nobody can market their way to a good grade. Notorious polluters and greenwashers are included on purpose, and scored accordingly.

The five sub-scores

Climate Impact & Solution

35%

Does the core business genuinely avoid or reduce emissions, or build climate resilience? Share of revenue that is actually 'green'. Fossil-dependent models score low.

Decarbonization & Targets

20%

Credible, science-based targets (SBTi), a real net-zero plan with progress to date, and CDP disclosure — not just a dated press release.

ESG & Operations

15%

Operational footprint, labour and social practices, and governance quality across the company's own operations and supply chain.

Transparency & Verification

15%

Quality of disclosure, independent third-party verification, and how much hard data backs the company's claims.

Integrity

15%

Controversies, litigation, pollution, fossil-fuel lobbying, conflict-zone involvement and governance scandals. Higher means cleaner.

The overall score is the weighted average of these five, computed deterministically — the AI supplies each sub-score and a cited rationale, but the arithmetic is fixed in code so it's reproducible and auditable.

The greenwashing cap

Separately from the sub-scores, every company gets a greenwashing-riskrating based on the gap between what it markets and what's verifiable. A High rating caps the overall score at 40; a Medium rating caps it at 65. Strong marketing with thin evidence cannot produce a good grade.

Data confidence

Each profile shows how much verifiable public data backed its score. A thin profile gets low confidence rather than an inflated score — so you can tell a confident verdict from a tentative one.
