Newsweek Names Travis Perkins PLC Among World’s Greenest Companies

Travis Perkins plc, parent company of the UK’s leading distributor of building materials, has been recognised as one of the world’s most environmentally responsible businesses, earning a prestigious five-star rating in Newsweek’s 2025 list of the World’s Greenest Companies.

The list, which ranked 750 of the world’s most sustainable publicly listed companies across 26 countries, highlighted top environmental performers and recognised those that achieved the highest five-star rating following a rigorous review of more than 8,000 businesses worldwide.

The rankings, created in collaboration with GIST Impact and Plant-A Insights Group, were built on 25 performance indicators across four strategic categories:

• Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
• Water Usage
• Waste Generation
• Sustainability Data Disclosure and Commitments

Eligibility for inclusion required companies to meet sustainability benchmarks aligned with European Union standards, recognised globally as the most rigorous, and to demonstrate transparency through publicly available sustainability data. Companies must also employ over 1,000 people.

Megan Adlen, Group Sustainability Director at Travis Perkins, said “We are delighted that our continued commitment to sustainability has been acknowledged on the global stage.” 

“This listing shows the commitment from our colleagues right across the business to reduce our environmental impact, maximise resource effectiveness, help our customers to meet their sustainability requirements and improve transparency in reporting on our sustainability goals."
