Wihlborgs has been included in TIME Magazine's and Statista's ranking of the World's Most Sustainable Companies 2026. The list comprises companies from around the world and is based on a comprehensive evaluation of factors including climate performance, sustainability governance, transparency, and social responsibility.
Wihlborgs is one of 25 Swedish companies and one of three Swedish real estate companies featured in the ranking.
TIME Magazine's sustainability ranking was launched in 2024 and is produced in collaboration with the analytics company Statista. Out of 5,000 companies reviewed across 40 countries, 750 qualify for the final ranking following an overall assessment of a broad range of sustainability-related key performance indicators.
The purpose of the ranking is to provide a comparable, data-driven view of corporate sustainability performance on a global scale. By using standardized indicators and data, the ranking enables an assessment of how companies perform relative to their international industry peers, regardless of geographic market.
"One of the underlying criteria in the ranking is companies' financial strength and their ability to combine growth with responsibility. For us, this became particularly evident during 2025, when we achieved a record-high investment volume while simultaneously reducing the climate impact of our project operations. This is exactly the kind of development we strive for, where increased activity and investments do not come at the expense of higher emissions, but rather coincide with their continued reduction," says Ulrika Hallengren, CEO of Wihlborgs.
"The recognition of Wihlborgs in TIME Magazine's global sustainability ranking reflects how sustainability is integrated into our business model and how we translate governance and ambitions into the actual development and management of our properties. For us, it is equally important that sustainability permeates our culture and day-to-day decision-making, where both accountability and initiative are encouraged. It is at the intersection of governance and engagement and together with our tenants and partners that our sustainability efforts achieve real impact," says Lisa Östling, Head of ESG at Wihlborgs.
