Singapore’s CDL joins world’s top 100 sustainable companies

Top-ranked companies this year included Schneider Electric (France), Telefónica (Spain), and Brambles (Australia).

City Developments Limited (CDL) has been ranked amongst the world’s top 100 most sustainable companies, coming in at #77 on the 2025 global sustainability list compiled by Statista in partnership with TIME.

The ranking assessed more than 5,000 companies globally using 2023 performance data. CDL earned a sustainability score of 73.79, placing it alongside global leaders such as Siemens, Mastercard, and Accenture. It is the only Singapore-headquartered company to make the top 100.

Key criteria included ESG transparency, environmental and social performance indicators, and alignment with major sustainability frameworks such as the UN Global Compact and Science-Based Targets.

As a front-runner in sustainable real estate, CDL continues to align its business strategy with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, focusing on energy-efficient buildings, low-carbon construction, and climate risk disclosure.

The methodology behind the ranking emphasised not just environmental performance, but also how companies are contributing to systemic and regenerative change, particularly in clean infrastructure, circularity, and social equity.

Top-ranked companies this year included Schneider Electric (France), Telefónica (Spain), and Brambles (Australia).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
