Kb Home's reported carbon emissions

KB Home, a US-based real estate services company, reported significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its operations. In 2025, the company's total emissions, encompassing Scope 1, 2, and 3, were approximately 1.53 billion kg CO2e. This included Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion amounting to about 2.2 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) totalling approximately 10.3 million kg CO2e. The largest portion of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, specifically the use of sold products, reaching about 1.51 billion kg CO2e in 2025.

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 2.21 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 2.16 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 at roughly 10.3 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 (use of sold products) at approximately 2.2 billion kg CO2e.

KB Home has established climate commitments focused on reducing the GHG emissions associated with its homes. A near-term target aims for an 8% reduction in annual GHG emissions per KB home by 2025, compared to a 2020 baseline. This is to be achieved by lowering the average Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score from 50 in 2020 to a target of 45 by 2025. This reduction is estimated to equate to approximately 0.5 metric tons of CO2e per year per home.

Historically, KB Home's Scope 1 and 2 emissions have shown a declining trend. For instance, Scope 1 and 2 emissions were approximately 25.1 million kg CO2e in 2018 and approximately 25.06 million kg CO2e in 2017. The company's reporting for earlier years, such as 2008-2012, indicates Scope 1 emissions of 0.0 kg CO2e, but comprehensive Scope 2 and Scope 3 data were not consistently reported for those periods.

KB Home is not currently committed to net-zero targets according to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) framework, and its near-term targets have been noted as removed or expired. The company's emissions data is not cascaded from a parent organisation.
