ReportHow credible are S&P 500 net-zero targets, and which sectors lag?
Eighty-four percent of S&P 500 companies now disclose climate targets, making target-setting effectively standard practice among America's largest corporations [1][2]. Yet headline adoption conceals a profound credibility gap: the majority of companies with Scope 1 and Scope 3 targets are not meaningfully reducing those emissions [1][2], only 7% of large global companies meet minimum integrity standards for net-zero commitments [8][12], and a 2026 research synthesis finds 96% of pledging companies exhibit at least one greenwashing risk indicator [4]. The challenge has decisively shifted from adoption to execution — and, increasingly, to quiet retreat.
