College Board discloses zero environmental data across operations, supply chain, and governance. No emissions targets, no sustainability report, no energy strategy. The 2024 SAT digital transition reduced paper logistics, but this sole operational improvement remains unquantified and untracked.

College Board scores 36/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified July 2026.

That places College Board joint 459th of 847 companies scored, and 10th of 19 in Media / Entertainment / Publishing.
