2022 ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT
Columbus, Ohio, August 31, 2022. Installed Building Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “IBP”) (NYSE: IBP), an industry-leading installer of insulation and complementary building products, announced today the release of the Company’s 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) report, which has been posted on the Company’s website (www.installedbuildingproducts.com) under the Sustainability section. The report details the Company’s dedication to its ESG policies and emphasizes IBP’s positive impact on the environment, its employees, and its communities by promoting a more sustainable and equitable future.
“I am excited to announce the publication of IBP’s 2022 ESG report and I am proud of the progress we have made along our ESG journey over the past year. Since our inception, IBP has worked hard to promote a culture of doing what is right. By making buildings energy efficient, caring for the health, safety and welfare of our employees, promoting volunteerism and engaging in philanthropic pursuits, we strive to exhibit corporate responsibility with our actions every day. While there is still a long road ahead, we are devoted to continually push ourselves to be better every year,” stated Jeff Edwards, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
IBP believes the Company can continue to make an impact in its employees' lives, in the homes it helps build, and in IBP’s communities. The Company is focusing on three areas of impact:
•Going Beyond the Buildings: We recognize the importance of environmental preservation and the direct connection between our business and the health of our planet and communities. That’s why we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and protecting biodiversity.
•Committing to our People: We strive to empower our employees and enrich their lives. We offer a robust health and safety program, financial and emotional wellbeing coaching programs, a financial assistance program, and a commitment to build an equitable and inclusive workplace with opportunity for growth and advancement. Our people are our greatest assets, and we continue to invest in their personal and professional growth.
•Elevating our Neighborhoods: We value our employees greatly and care deeply about the communities where they live and work. So, we are 100% committed to giving back to the people and communities that are the backbone of our company. Through our Installed Building Products Foundation and corporate giving programs, we are committed to contributing 1% of EBITDA each year to support local communities throughout the country with initiatives primarily focused on education and housing-related needs.
Mr. Edwards continued, “As one of the nation's largest insulation installers, IBP plays a crucial role in the residential and commercial construction industries. In fact, the increased insulation of exterior walls, attics and foundations, combined with more energy efficient HVAC systems, windows and doors can dramatically reduce energy usage beyond what is prescribed by the local market codes. Beyond our service offerings, we also recognize that as a good corporate citizen, we have a responsibility to protect the environment for current and future generations. By 2030, we are focused on a 50% reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions from the 2020 baseline levels. We believe we can achieve this target by transitioning facilities to carbon free electricity supply, reducing the use of certain spray foam blowing agents with higher greenhouse gas emissions, and transitioning our fleet from mobile combustion vehicles.”
“IBP’s Board of Directors and management team recognize the importance of ESG issues and their impact on our stockholders, customers, employees, and communities. The publication of our inaugural ESG report last year laid a strong foundation for continued progress and positive momentum in 2022 and beyond. I am proud of our team’s efforts in helping us pursue our ESG goals and targets. As we continue along our journey, we are committed to creating value for all our stakeholders through everyday actions that promote positive corporate responsibility,” concluded Mr. Edwards.
