Our verdict

Roblox is a $3.6B gaming platform with 111M daily users and zero environmental disclosure. The company reports SBTi-validated 2030 targets but has published no emissions data, energy strategy, or sustainability reporting. Governance failure: a NYSE-listed company with material data center operations hiding its environmental footprint.

Roblox scores 32/100 (Below expectations) 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 May 2026.

That places Roblox joint 620th of 934 companies scored, and joint 54th of 73 in SaaS / Digital Services.

What is Roblox doing well, and where does it fall short?
