Our verdict

Ravensburger publishes no emissions data for operations or its supply chain and no water figures. It says its production sites have used renewable electricity since 2023, but gives no share of total energy and no verification. Packaging improvements are real but incremental, and it has no dated waste or material target.

Ravensburger scores 24/100 (Significant gaps) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Scores are free. Companies can never pay for anything about their own score. Last verified November 2026.

That places Ravensburger joint 901st of 1,017 companies scored, and joint 53rd of 57 in FMCG / Consumer Goods.
