Ravensbourne University London scores 25/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified September 2026.
That places Ravensbourne University London joint 672nd of 780 companies scored, and 65th of 66 in Higher Education / Universities.
Ravensbourne has published no operational emissions data, no waste figures, and no water consumption metrics despite operating a single campus. A claimed 100% renewable energy tariff by end-2023 remains unverified by third parties. The university holds one delivered target but lacks any net-zero commitment, SBTi alignment, or formal sustainability governance structure.
