Barratt Redrow leads UK housebuilding on climate disclosure and has SBTi-validated net-zero targets, but faces a fundamental tension: Scope 3 targets are intensity-based, not absolute, meaning emissions will likely rise as the company scales to 22,000 homes annually. A CMA investigation into price-fixing concluded with £29M in commitments. Operational emissions decline is real but modest.
