Sustainability Impact Ratings 2027: time to submit your data

Universities across the world are now invited to submit their data for the relaunched Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings 2027, which measure universities’ progress towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

The impact and sustainability rating system is now underpinned by a new Sustainability Impact Network membership community, offering more support, more data insights and more opportunities for institutions to showcase their strengths in tackling the world’s most pressing problems. 

To participate in the ratings, which will be published in June next year, university members subscribed to the network must provide the required data by 9 November 2026. Only member universities will be able to submit to the ratings assessment and receive a published score and position. Universities from 116 countries or territories have already signed up to the network.

The ratings include 18 tables – one overall league table and one for each of the 17 individual SDGs. 

Last year, THE’s data team, in partnership with the global higher education sector, collected institutional data from more than 1,600 universities from 116 countries or territories to create the Sustainability Impact Ratings 2026.
