How scoring works

How the Mycelium Score is calculated

The Mycelium Score is out of 10. Up to 6.5 points reflect carbon intensity vs peers in the same NACE section (emissions normalised against revenue, log-scaled between the 5th and 95th percentile of each company's latest reporting year in that section; a section needs at least 5 companies to be benchmarked). The band above 6.5 is earned through verified data quality on a claimed profile: declaring every reporting category yourself (up to 2.0), preparation by a carbon accountant (2.0) and independently audited figures (2.0). The total is multiplied by the transparency score and capped at 10. A disclosure with an implausibly large figure (Scope 1 or 2 over 300 million tonnes, a Scope 3 figure over 2 billion tonnes or a total over 2.5 billion tonnes) is not scored until it has been checked.

A higher score means lower carbon intensity than sector peers, backed by data that's third-party verified, claimed by the company, and fully disclosed. Wizz Air's score sits at the top of this page and in the score panel. Without a revenue figure to measure carbon intensity, or an industry classification to compare it within, a company has no score.

How the Transparency Score is calculated

The Transparency Score is the share of a company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, graded from A (very high) down to F (very low). Where a category is missing, Mycelium models what it would hold for a company of that size and industry and counts it as undisclosed, so an unreported category where the bulk of emissions sit hurts far more than a minor one. Unreported downstream categories (9 to 15) count at a quarter of their modelled size in this share; the carbon intensity behind the score still counts them in full. A Scope 3 total filed without a category breakdown earns very little credit for the part left unattributed, because it does not show which categories are inside it: a company can count business travel, leave purchased goods out entirely, and the total looks the same. Without a revenue figure the footprint cannot be modelled, so the company has no Transparency Score.

Wizz Air has disclosed the categories that carry most of its estimated footprint, so there's no single bucket dragging the transparency score down. The breakdown above shows which figures are reported and which are modelled.

Wizz Air carbon emissions FAQs

What are Wizz Air's carbon emissions?

In its 2025 reporting year, Wizz Air disclosed total emissions of 7,962,306 tCO2e across all scopes. Including Mycelium estimates for undisclosed categories, the adjusted total is 8,313,748 tCO2e. Scope 1 accounted for the largest share of the reported total, around 73%.

Does Wizz Air report Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions?

For 2025, Wizz Air's available disclosure covers Scope 1 (5,834,826 tCO2e), Scope 2 (490 tCO2e) and Scope 3 across 11 of the 15 GHG Protocol categories. Figures not reported by the company are shown as modelled estimates and labelled as such.

How transparent is Wizz Air's emissions reporting?

Wizz Air has a Mycelium transparency score of 98.9 out of 100. The score is the share of the company's estimated footprint that it reported itself, so an undisclosed category where most of its emissions sit weighs far more than a minor one.

Is Wizz Air sustainable?

Mycelium measures sustainability through carbon emissions data rather than giving a yes or no verdict. Wizz Air has a Mycelium Score of 3.4 out of 10, which reflects its emissions intensity against sector peers together with how transparent and well-verified its reporting is. The emissions figures, disclosure documents and climate targets on this page give the fuller picture.

Is Wizz Air environmentally friendly?

Carbon emissions are one measurable part of environmental impact, and the part Mycelium tracks. Wizz Air disclosed 7,962,306 tCO2e for 2025, and its Mycelium Score of 3.4 out of 10 shows how that performance compares with similar companies in its sector.
