Inspired named a top-10 Climate Leader in Europe for 2026
Inspired ranks 7th in the Financial Times and Statista's Europe's Climate Leaders 2026.
Inspired has been named one of Europe’s Climate Leaders 2026 by the Financial Times and Statista, reflecting significant progress in reducing emissions and strengthening sustainability reporting.
The annual ranking celebrates European companies making progress in cutting greenhouse gas emissions from their core operations. Inspired placed 7th out of 600 companies evaluated.
“This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our ESG team, who have led the development of our annual ESG and CDP reporting, and our SBTi submission. Their expertise and diligence have been instrumental in establishing Inspired as a leader in sustainability and transparency.
“This milestone also reflects the support of colleagues across the wider business, whose collaboration and provision of data make robust reporting possible.
“What’s particularly meaningful is that several of our clients, whom we proudly support on their own ESG journeys, are also featured on the list.
“It’s a fantastic achievement all round for organisations championing real, measurable change – and a reminder of why the work we do with our clients matters.”
