Tottenham Hotspur Football Club scores 53/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Tottenham Hotspur Football Club joint 60th of 634 companies scored, and 4th of 20 in Professional Sports Clubs.
Tottenham publishes a full Scope 3 inventory and 100% renewable electricity, but absolute emissions are rising 10.5% year-on-year driven by fan travel accounting for 47.5% of footprint. Water and waste lack quantified baselines. A High Court quashed planning permission for the women's academy on Whitewebbs Park over concealed biodiversity concerns, exposing tension between stated nature commitments and development practice.
