It’s not just the right thing to do — it’s also right for our business
Increasing new-home affordability
We design and build homes that help address the significant need for housing that is affordable.
Lowering the total cost of homeownership
Energy- and water-efficient homes can be more affordable to operate than typical new or resale homes without the same features, making sustainability a compelling competitive advantage.
Elevating water conservation
The water-saving features in our homes reduce our customers’ water bills and help to mitigate strain on local communities.
Designing homes to be healthier for residents
We design homes that can promote the health of their residents as well as the environment.
Integrating sustainability technology for increased comfort
Many sustainability-related technologies that we use also offer greater comfort and personal efficiency, along with user-friendly smart home interfaces.
Preserving the environment and natural resources for long-term value
The positive environmental attributes of our homes support a business strategy for long-term value creation for our stakeholders as well as emit fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs).
Containing the cost to build
Our scale and waste-reduction efforts allow us to build sustainable homes more economically.
Becoming the builder of choice for partners
We believe our legacy of vibrant, sustainable communities and industry leadership makes us a partner of choice for municipalities, land sellers, developers and other partners.
Improving strength of supply chain
We select our partners in part based on their sustainable business practices. We also require specific product-sourcing certifications in certain cases, waste-reduction practices as available and ethical conduct.
Becoming an employer of choice
We aim to attract top-tier talent by creating a culture of excellence and providing a safe work environment that supports inclusion, equity and meaningful work.
