This is a significant leap from 61st place last year, marking our third consecutive year of improvement in these global rankings. Out of 1,744 institutions worldwide, our rise highlights the ongoing effort and dedication across the university to make sustainability a core priority.<\/p>\n<p>Our progress isn\u2019t just global, it\u2019s regional too. We\u2019re now ranked joint 26th in Europe (up from 30th last year) and joint 16th in the UK, improving from joint 21st in 2024. These rankings reflect our growing commitment to integrating sustainability into every part of university life, from research and education to the way we operate our campus.<\/p>\n<p>One area where we\u2019ve seen notable improvement is our Environmental Impact score. This year, we\u2019re ranked joint 36th in the world, up from joint 43rd last year. This improvement reflects the work we\u2019re doing to reduce our environmental footprint, such as enhancing <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/energy\/example-projects-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energy efficiency<\/a>, reducing waste, and fostering sustainability driven research across disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Robert Van de Noort, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Reading, shared his thoughts on this achievement: \u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to see our continued progress in the QS Sustainability Rankings. Rising in the table for the third consecutive year shows our long-term commitment to environmental sustainability. Sustainability is at the heart of the University of Reading\u2019s mission, and our goal of becoming one of the greenest universities in the world is supported by everyone here staff and students alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, we were also honoured to be named <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/sustainability\/2024\/12\/18\/the-university-of-reading-named-times-sustainable-university-of-the-year-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Sustainable University of the Year 2025<\/em><\/a> by <em>The Times<\/em> and <em>The Sunday Times Good University Guide<\/em>.
