Three REITs were included on the list of the 2025 World's Most Admired Companies, with Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD) taking the top spot in the real estate sector. The list, in its 27th year, is created in partnership between Fortune and Korn Ferry.
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) took third place in the real estate sector, while American Tower Corp. (NYSE: AMT) was ranked fifth.
The World's Most Admired Companies list highlights organizations most respected by their peers, with executives emphasizing financial stability, innovation, respected leadership, and expansion of global businesses.
Representing over 50 industries across the world, the list includes 229 U.S.-based companies, 59 in Europe, and 26 in the Asia/Pacific region.
"The world's most admired companies don't earn their ranking through financial results alone. They also get there through the reputation of their leadership, their ability to attract and retain top talent, and a strong culture," said Laura Manson-Smith, Korn Ferry's global leader of organization strategy consulting. "The best strategy on paper is worth nothing without an engaged and skilled workforce to make it happen."
