Our verdict

Vue publishes emissions only for its UK businesses (91 of its 224 cinemas), no Scope 3 figures, and no climate targets or interim milestones. Its net zero commitment lacks a baseline year or third-party validation. Energy efficiency work is under way but on-site renewables remain planned, not deployed.

Vue Entertainment International scores 25/100 (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 Vue Entertainment International joint 808th of 934 companies scored, and 2nd of 2 in Cinema / Exhibition / Live Venues.

What is Vue Entertainment International doing well, and where does it fall short?

Where the evidence comes from

What evidence is Vue Entertainment International's score based on?

10 sources used in this assessment. All publicly available. Each row shows which of the ten questions it informed.

20% of them were published by Vue Entertainment International itself; the rest come from independent sources.

Vue publishes emissions only for its UK cinemas: 91 of the 224 it ran at 30 November 2025, in the energy and carbon table of its group accounts. It publishes no total for the whole group, so we treat its emissions as not published and apply the 0.70x adjustment.
