Letter from Our CEO Awards & Recognitions Sustainability Report
We believe that prioritizing sustainability provides long-term benefits for our customers, our operations and the environment, while also providing us with a competitive advantage and making us a more resilient business.
I am honored to once again share my perspective on sustainability and homeownership as part of this, our 18th annual Sustainability Report. Each year, this is an opportunity for us to reflect on where we have been and where we are headed — and why sustainability continues to be a priority.
Please see link below to read the full letter.
We design and build homes that help address the significant need for housing that is affordable.
Sustainability can be a compelling competitive advantage because energy- and water-efficient homes can offer a lower operating cost compared to typical new or resale homes.
The water-saving features in our homes reduce our customers’ water bills and help to mitigate strain on local communities.
Our scale and waste-reduction efforts allow us to build sustainable homes more economically.
We design homes that can promote the health of their residents as well as the environment.
Sustainability-related technologies may offer greater comfort and efficiency, with user-friendly smart home interfaces.
More sustainable homebuilding that emits fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs) is part of a business strategy for long-term value creation for our stakeholders.
We believe our industry leadership and commitment to excellence make us a partner of choice for municipalities, land sellers, developers and other partners.
We select our partners in part based on their sustainable business practices, innovative products and processes, and commitment to ethical conduct.
We strive to create a culture of excellence and provide a safe work environment that supports inclusion and meaningful work.
In 2024 and early 2025, we were recognized for our environmental, social and governance leadership by a number of organizations, including:

At KB Home, we believe that sustainability is built on one essential idea: balance. We strive to ensure that today’s buyers can achieve the dream of homeownership while balancing that objective with mindfulness about the sustainability needs of future generations and our environment. Sustaining the dream of homeownership both today and into the future is what we do every day.
This year, we published our 18th annual Sustainability Report, the longest-running publication of its kind in the homebuilding industry. We invite you to learn about what matters to us and to join us on our journey. We encourage you to review our previous 17 sustainability reports to learn more about our consistent, long-term approach and all of the work that lies behind our 2024 sustainability results.
