Barratt Redrow, which owns local housebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, has been named as one of TIME magazine’s World’s 500 Most Sustainable Companies for 2025.
The recognition for the developer, who is responsible for local developments such as Otter Stone Manor in Aberdeen, Keillers Rise in Dundee and Huntingtower in Perth, underscores its industry-leading commitment to preserving and enhancing the natural environment and building great places that promote healthy and happy living for customers.
This accolade places Barratt Redrow amongst a select group of companies across the globe recognised for their leadership in sustainability, and they are on the only UK-based housebuilder to feature on the list.
David Palmer, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, said: “We are immensely proud that our work here in North Scotland contributes to a national legacy of building not only high-quality homes, but a more sustainable future. This achievement reflects the dedication of our teams to reducing our impact, innovating and creating communities that last.”
David Thomas, CEO of Barratt Redrow, said: “We are incredibly proud to be recognised by TIME magazine as one of the world’s most sustainable companies.
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do – from driving carbon emission reductions across our value chain to creating communities that thrive for generations. Being included on this global list is both an honour and a powerful motivation to keep pushing the boundaries of what responsible homebuilding can achieve.”
In Case You Missed it:
Only 32 UK-based companies received the accreditation in 2025, all of whom are setting the benchmark on sustainability performance, transparency and innovation.
TIME and its research partner, Statista, used a transparent, multi-stage methodology to identify the world’s most sustainable companies. The process began with a pool of over 5,000 of the world’s largest and most influential companies. Following a rigorous four-stage assessment, the final ranking excluded unsustainable industries and considered factors like external sustainability ratings and commitments, corporate reporting practices, and environmental and social performance indicators. This comprehensive approach produced a ranking of 500 companies from over 30 countries.
