Brentford FC scores 51/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Brentford FC joint 83rd of 634 companies scored, and 5th of 20 in Professional Sports Clubs.
Brentford published its first sustainability report in December 2024, disclosing Scope 1&2 emissions (1,232 tCO2e) and Scope 3 (7,553 tCO2e) with GHG Protocol methodology. Energy switching to certified renewables reduced Scope 1+2 to 330 tCO2e by FY2024/25. Critical gaps: no net-zero target, Scope 3 rose year-on-year, no supplier engagement programme, and no third-party assurance.
