17th annual report details another landmark year
distinguished by significant strides in sustainability that raised
the standard for the industry.
KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted
homebuilders in the U.S., today released its 17th Annual
Sustainability Report, the longest-running publication of its kind
in the homebuilding industry. In 2023, the company’s focus on
sustainability remained fundamentally about its customers. KB Home
continued to demonstrate that a sustainable home can significantly
reduce the total cost of homeownership while exceeding customers’
dreams. The report highlights the company’s industry-leading
sustainability initiatives and achievements from this past
year.
“We believe that a KB home is a better home, one that is more
efficient and affordable to operate, and delivers on the enduring
promise of the American dream,” said Jeffrey Mezger, KB Home
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “KB Home has a proud history
of being a leader in sustainability. For over two decades, we have
been building energy- and water-efficient homes and advancing
innovation, while also making a positive impact by supporting the
attainability and expansion of homeownership. We believe our
approach creates a resilient business built to deliver long-term
value for our customers, employees, partners and stockholders.”
In 2023, KB Home achieved the following outcomes:
- Energy-Efficiency Leadership: KB Home’s 2023 national
average Home Energy Rating System® (HERS) Index score was 46, which
is 54% more efficient than a typical home built in 2006 and
underscores the company's longstanding commitment to helping
homebuyers lower their utility bills and preserve natural
resources. Additionally, KB Home has built over 190,000
high-performance ENERGY STAR® certified homes since 2000, more than
any other national homebuilder, cumulatively saving homeowners an
estimated $1.2 billion in utility bills and avoiding 7.4 billion
pounds of CO2 emissions.
- Promoting Water Resiliency: The company constructed a
record-high number of WaterSense® labeled homes in all its new
communities across the southwestern U.S. to help support the
region’s long-term water resilience. Since 2005, KB Home has built
over 21,000 Water Smart and WaterSense labeled homes, more than any
other homebuilder, helping to conserve an estimated 2 billion
gallons of water annually. The company believes this commitment is
not just about reducing utility costs; it’s about safeguarding the
future.
- Customer Satisfaction Excellence: KB Home helped over
13,200 customers achieve their dream of homeownership, 74%
first-time and first move-up buyers and 67% from diverse
backgrounds. The company’s customer-centric approach and dedication
to being the most customer-obsessed homebuilder in the world helped
improve satisfaction rates by three points in a single year to an
impressive 94% and achieve the distinction of being the #1
customer-ranked national homebuilder in third-party buyer
surveys.
- Community Investment and Empowerment: The company
invested meaningfully in the local infrastructure of the
communities in which it operates, including more than $124.9
million toward schools, roads and parks. KB Home also donated $1.93
million and dedicated over 5,300 volunteer hours through its KB
Cares philanthropic program, investing in and strengthening the
places where its employees live, work and build, and demonstrating
employees’ desire to make a difference in the wider communities
where they call home.
- Recognized With Preeminent Honors: KB Home earned
numerous sustainability awards from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as well as recognition on Fortune’s 2023 Change the
World list, the first and only homebuilder named, Newsweek®’s 2023
America’s Most Responsible Companies list, the only national
builder to receive this honor three years in a row, and USA Today’s
2023 America’s Climate Leaders list, the highest-ranked homebuilder
on the list.
