• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 665.6 million kg CO2e, with significant contributions from capital goods (about 162.4 million kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (about 5.4 million kg CO2e), upstream leased assets (about 6.9 million kg CO2e), and fuel and energy-related activities (about 5.9 million kg CO2e).

For 2022, total emissions were approximately 805.5 million kg CO2e. This consisted of:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 4.3 million kg CO2e (mobile combustion: about 104,000 kg CO2e; fugitive emissions: about 809,000 kg CO2e; stationary combustion: about 3.3 million kg CO2e).
• Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 10.7 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity.
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 790.5 million kg CO2e, with capital goods accounting for about 220.5 million kg CO2e.

In 2021, AMH Homes reported total emissions of approximately 388.3 million kg CO2e. This included:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e (mobile combustion: about 78,000 kg CO2e; fugitive emissions: about 803,000 kg CO2e; stationary combustion: about 3.0 million kg CO2e).
• Scope 2 emissions: Approximately 9.0 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity.
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 375.5 million kg CO2e, with capital goods representing about 314.4 million kg CO2e.

For 2020, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 3.8 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion and Scope 2 emissions of about 905,000 kg CO2e from purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions for this year were approximately 355.1 million kg CO2e.

Emissions data for 2019 only specifies Scope 1 (about 3.6 million kg CO2e from mobile combustion) and Scope 2 (about 1.3 million kg CO2e from purchased electricity). Scope 3 emissions were not disclosed for 2019.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Initiatives:

AMH Homes has achieved a 16% reduction in GHG emissions intensity per occupied home from a baseline of 7.9 metric tons of CO2e in 2021 to 6.6 metric tons of CO2e in 2023. Additionally, emissions intensity per square foot decreased by 16%, from 3.9 kg CO2e in 2021 to 3.3 kg CO2e in 2023. These reductions represent near-term intensity targets for Scope 1, Scope 2, and total Scope 3 emissions. The company's sustainability reporting can be found in their 2024 and 2023 Sustainability Reports.
