Kb Home's reported carbon emissions
KB Home, a US-based real estate services company, has reported significant emissions data and climate commitments. For the 2025 reporting year, total emissions were approximately 1.53 billion kg CO2e, primarily driven by Scope 3 emissions (use of sold products) at about 1.51 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions from mobile combustion were approximately 2.2 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) amounted to about 10.3 million kg CO2e. In 2024, KB Home's total emissions were approximately 2.31 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products were the largest contributor at about 2.2 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion) were around 2.16 million kg CO2e, with Scope 2 emissions (location-based) at approximately 10.3 million kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions reached approximately 3.85 billion kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products were approximately 3.71 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions (mobile combustion) were around 2.09 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were about 12.1 million kg CO2e. KB Home has set near-term reduction targets. Specifically, they aim for an 8% reduction in annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a 2025 KB home compared to a 2020 KB home. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The company aims to achieve this by lowering their average HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score from 50 in 2020 to a target of 45 by 2025, which is expected to reduce estimated GHG emissions from the use of a KB home by approximately 0.5 metric tons per year. The company's data is not cascaded from a parent organisation, indicating it reports its emissions independently.
