Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Barratt Redrow PLC holds a mixed ethical rating. While specific scores for many values are currently unavailable, analysis indicates the company's housebuilding model faces inherent ethical challenges. Its operations are reportedly in fundamental conflict with 'Planet-Friendly Business' and 'Zero Waste & Sustainable Products,' largely due to significant carbon emissions, habitat disruption, and substantial waste generation inherent in construction. Other areas like fair pay, ethical sourcing, and honest business practices are also considered of medium materiality, requiring diligent management across its extensive supply chain and construction activities.
