Aalto University ranks 47th in the world in responsible consumption and production in this year’s Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings. The ranking is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, and Aalto University was assessed in 13 of these goals. The responsible consumption and production goal was evaluated by the university’s publications and citations in this area, related university’s operations (e.g. waste disposal) and sustainability reporting.

Aalto also made it to the top 200 in four other SDGs: Industry, innovation and infrastructure; Sustainable cities and communities; Clean water and sanitation; and Climate action.
