About This Report

We view our ESG program as an important component to the success of our company, and this report represents a key step in providing transparency into our efforts. As a company, we pride ourselves on our ability to serve our employees, trade partners, customers, and the communities in which we operate with care and dedication. We bring those same values in our approach to this ESG initiative.

In April of 2021, we published our inaugural ESG Report, setting forth important information with respect to many ESG issues impacting our company. Our CEO's letter introducing that report is included below and summarizes our views regarding many aspects of ESG. We continue to review our sustainability strategy and engage with our key stakeholders regarding ESG-related matters. We use the Sustainability Accounting Board (SASB) industry-specific standards to help identify topics of relevance for our audience, and with this 2023 update, we present an additional year's worth of data.

We continue to evaluate and look for ways to improve our ESG Report. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a sweeping set of proposed rules that would govern how companies manage and disclose risks related to a changing climate, among other required disclosures. This development underscores the dynamic nature of ESG reporting and the evolving expectations of our stakeholders. We intend to evaluate final rules when they become available, as well as any other regulatory developments. We expect the final rule to inform how best to foster continued discussion and engagement with all of our stakeholders around the complex issues surrounding sustainability and broader ESG practices for long-term value creation.

From Douglas C. Yearley, Jr., Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer

I am pleased to present this inaugural Toll Brothers Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report.

Our initial report is about both the present and the future. It includes information on where we at Toll Brothers stand today on many Environmental, Social, and Governance issues. It also sets the framework for the future as the ESG landscape evolves and we fine-tune our data collection priorities and practices. The audience for this report is varied and broad. Stakeholders include our shareholders, financial partners, customers, trade partners, the communities in which we build, society at large, the governmental entities that oversee our sector, and, of course, our employees. In preparing this report, we have solicited the views of various stakeholders and focused on matters deemed to be of significance to them and our business.

Home building is a unique industry, and our opportunity to make an impact is significant. This starts with the tremendous economic influence of our industry as a job-creating engine. Toll Brothers directly employs approximately 4,500 people. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) estimates that the average new home generates 2.9 jobs in each community where a house is built. Based on this estimate, we directly and indirectly supported over 24,000 jobs in fiscal year 2020. These jobs, which include employment for plumbers, painters, electricians, carpenters, furniture makers, real estate brokers, site planners, and many others, were more critical than ever, as the nation recovers from historically high unemployment rates caused by the pandemic. We are proud to be part of a bedrock industry that continually refreshes the nation's housing supply while also creating so many good jobs. The communities we develop also contribute to the vibrancy and the tax base of the towns and cities where we build, enhancing the quality of life not only of our buyers but also of the municipalities as a whole. This contribution includes not only the beautiful communities we build but also the contribution and civic participation of our residents and our employees in the areas where we have a presence.

In our communities, we strive to fulfill the aspirations of those seeking a home they love. With our first time, move-up, empty nester, and active-adult new home communities, as well as rental and urban condominium projects, we have a wide variety of product lines to serve the upscale market. And in a nation where the housing shortage is well-documented, our mission is more important than ever—we want to be part of the solution to this major public policy concern.

As an employer, we want to be at the forefront in providing opportunities and growth to all, irrespective of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture, hiring and advancing diverse talent within our firm, and to expanding educational and professional opportunities for underserved youth. Increasing the diversity of voices at all levels of our organization is a high priority. Ensuring our employees' health and safety, providing an environment where all employees are treated with fairness, dignity, and respect, and having opportunities to grow and thrive is aligned with our values and critical to our success.

Since Toll Brothers was founded in 1967, we have taken seriously our responsibilities to the broader communities in which we build and to the environment. Whether this involves thoughtful land planning, sustainable land stewardship, decreasing our impact on climate change, planting trees, creating parks and hiking trails, supporting local organizations, or reducing water use, energy consumption, and waste production, our goal is to build beautiful communities that enhance both the lives of residents and the environments in which they are built.

I am so proud and honored to be leading this great company. Thank you for your interest and continued support.

Douglas C. Yearley, Jr.

Naval Square community recognized by the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia as a recipient of the 2008 Grand Jury Award for Preservation AchievementAmong the protected historic resources at Naval Square were the original wall around the property, the gatehouses, and the viewshed of the principal historic buildings from Grays Ferry Avenue. The interior of the property's most significant structure, Biddle Hall, was creatively adapted to 66 residential units in a manner that allows all the units in the two long wings to have direct exterior access utilizing original openings. The second-floor features bi-level units that take advantage of skylights and monitor windows running the length of each wing. Common areas, such as the original main entry foyer and marble staircase, were retained and restored. In the original rotunda, the domed plaster ceiling and skylight oculus were restored; the space is now used as a gathering place, and multimedia and fitness center.
