Gold
Executive Summary

Neste Oyj receives a Gold tier designation as the world's leading producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel. MSCI AAA and EcoVadis Platinum (top 1%) confirm strong ESG performance. However, Neste recently revised climate targets downward due to financial constraints — extending its 50% Scope 1/2 reduction target from 2030 to 2035 and dropping its carbon-neutral production goal. CDP score dropped to B. Gold reflects strong business-model alignment offset by target revisions and assurance limitations.
