King’s has been ranked in the top 2% of global universities and 6th in the UK in recognition of the University’s environmental and social impact. The University has also achieved first in the world for SDG 12 on Responsible Consumption and Production. Times Higher Education Impact Rankings are the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs are a set of 17 goals approved by the 193 member states of the UN which aim to transform the world by 2030. The 2024 Impact Rankings is the sixth edition and comprised 2,152 universities from 125 countries and regions. King’s ranked in the top 40 globally in 7 SDG categories: Gender Equality (SDG 5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), Climate Action (SDG 13) and Life on Land (SDG 15). King’s position as the number one university in the world for SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production, recognises the efforts made by the entire King’s community to make the University more sustainable and reflects the strength of our commitments on Sustainable Food, Socially Responsible Procurement and Waste & Resources Management. Activities at King’s relevant to SDG 12 include: The new Centre for Sustainable Business brings together researchers, industry, the public sector and civil society to provide insights into what businesses need to do to transition to socially and environmentally sustainable practices. Sustainable consumption is one of the research themes. Academics in the King’s Business School Marketing research group are focusing on consumer ethics and loyalty, tackling paradoxes between consumerism and sustainability. The new Net Zero Centre at King’s is supporting decarbonisation for society, including designing and developing processes and products to reduce and reuse waste and minimise environmental impact from new designs to retrofitting. The University applies the waste hierarchy of 'Prevent, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recovery, Disposal', working with our procurement team and suppliers to prevent and reduce waste, and has adopted a zero waste to landfill policy. King's Food initiatives aim to reduce food waste generated on campus, for which they received a Public Sector Catering Award in April 2024. Examples include a 50@50 scheme that sells food that is about to go out of date at a 50% discount 50 minutes before closing; food is placed on the Too Good To Go app to ensure it is not wasted at the end of the day; and a Love Your Leftovers campaign. All staff are encouraged to consider using Warp It, a furniture re-use platform internal to King's before purchasing any new item of furniture. King’s was founded in 1829 and is made up of five campuses across London. We have more than 34,000 students and over 185,000 alumni from all over the world and have 14 Nobel Laureates.
