forward, we plan to continue our engagement with CDP and will work to improve the depth and quality of our disclosures. We plan to provide annual updates to all of our disclosures along with evaluating and disclosing against other relevant frameworks as appropriate, such as the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD.) In 2022, we made significant progress in our TCFD reporting by establishing internal metrics and targets with respect to climate-related risks. Along with improving our environmental reporting metrics in 2022, we were successful in opening our second off-site manufacturing plant. Part of the Innovative Construction Group (ICG) platform, our newest plant is located in Florence, S.C., and primarily serves our Coastal Carolina division. Beyond helping to shorten the construction cycle and improve build quality, ICG’s automated plants use raw materials more efficiently and can dramatically reduce waste at the job site. We continue to advance our multi-year strategy of having six to eight ICG plants to support our homebuilding operations across the country. While increased automation is expected to be a growing part of our future, we know that our people and culture are the foundation on which PulteGroup’s success will always rely. As such, we work to maintain an environment that encourages each member of the team to bring their best, most authentic selves to work. We believe that an environment that is respectful and inclusive of all people, regardless of race, gender identity, ethnicity, or background, creates the best work environment and results in the best work product. We are working to build an organization that reflects the diversity of the communities and people we serve. As part of this process, in 2021 we began sharing our EEO-1 data to allow the public to track changes in the composition of our workforce over time. Building on our EEO-1 disclosures, in 2022 we actively engaged with the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index and increased our score from 20 to 85 (out of a possible 100 points.) We intend to continue to measure our results against this Index in future years. In addition to building an inclusive organization, we are also committed to creating a healthy and safe working environment. As one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, health and safety is a key priority in our company. That is why we have voluntarily disclosed our Occupational Safety and Health Administration reportable incident rate for employees and contractors for the last three years within our Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) reporting and our sustainability reports. We never forget that behind all the data sets and reporting requirements are people; the more than 6,000 individuals across our organization who work tirelessly to deliver an outstanding customer experience, while helping to maintain an engaging and welcoming

culture. It is this group of amazing people whose survey responses placed PulteGroup at #43 on Fortune Magazine’s list of the top 100 Best Companies to Work For. Knowing this ranking reflects the voices of all our employees, I am proud and humbled by our presence on such a prestigious list. As outlined above and detailed on the following pages, we continue to make steady progress in our sustainability journey and can point to important gains within our ESG initiatives. While there have been challenges along the way, our organization is committed to the effort, and I believe our employees are genuinely excited by the gains we are making. I look forward to continuing this dialog and updating you as our journey continues.
