Everton Football Club scores 27/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.

That places Everton Football Club joint 510th of 634 companies scored, and joint 13th of 20 in Professional Sports Clubs.

Everton has no published emissions data despite mandatory UK disclosure requirements, making baseline and trajectory assessment impossible. The new stadium incorporates renewable energy and waste-efficient construction, but the club lacks science-aligned targets, formal GHG accounting, or verified supply chain emissions reporting. Financial regulatory sanctions for PSR breaches compound a governance transparency gap.
