Measure what matters - your environmental and social impact, made clear.
Turn ESG data into impact you can see
The QS Sustainability Rankings Dataset helps universities understand their broader impact on the environment and society – and demonstrate it with evidence. Created with planning and strategy teams in mind – alongside sustainability offices, senior leaders, and student engagement teams – it turns complex ESG data into clear insight for shaping institutional priorities, evidencing progress, and engaging stakeholders.
Sustainability isn’t a side note anymore – it’s a defining measure of credibility. From student choices to policymaker recognition, universities are judged on how they deliver against local and global goals.
This dataset provides the evidence behind those results. Built on 55+ indicators and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, it helps you compare impact, uncover strengths, and address gaps with clarity – ensuring decisions are backed by data, not assumptions.
Built to guide sustainable strategies
The QS Sustainability Rankings Dataset turns ESG metrics into intelligence leaders, faculties and partners can act on. Using globally recognised frameworks, it shows where progress is taking root – and where focus is needed – so strategy stays targeted and effective. And because the analysis is already done for you, your team saves hours of manual data crunching – freeing up time to focus on decisions, not spreadsheets.
