St Mary's University, Twickenham scores 48/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified September 2026.
That places St Mary's University, Twickenham joint 184th of 780 companies scored, and joint 53rd of 66 in Higher Education / Universities.
St Mary's has cut operational emissions 52% since 2005 and recycles 97.9% of waste—genuinely strong numbers for a small campus university. But renewable energy sourcing is absent entirely, Scope 3 reporting has lapsed, and science-based targets are missing. The university acts where it counts operationally but lacks the supply chain rigour and ambition required for a higher band.
