D.R. Horton is a construction and engineering company based in Arlington, Texas, United States, operating under the names America’s Builder, Emerald Homes, Express Homes and Freedom Homes. Founded in 1978, the company offers construction and sales of residential homes, including attached and detached homes. It is the largest homebuilder in the US by volume.
Summary
D.R. Horton discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company provides information on the actions taken to improve the affordability of the houses it constructs. The company also reports a zero-tolerance policy for racism or discrimination, with clear disciplinary actions for violations, indicating its efforts towards fostering inclusiveness.
Regardless, there are several areas where D.R. Horton can improve its performance. In addition to reporting on waste reduction at construction sites, the company should disclose its process for managing and monitoring waste. With regard to water withdrawals, while the company is committed to adhering to national regulations, there is no evidence that it reports how it manages and monitors water. D.R. Horton should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies.
D.R. Horton’s reporting on noise monitoring is also limited, and there is no evidence of the company regularly reporting air quality parameters or detailed measures for managing air pollutants across its operations. By addressing these gaps, the company can enhance its sustainability practices and ensure more equitable operations.
