About Us

Company overview

At Jacobs, we make the world smarter, more connected and more sustainable.

  • Challenging today is our response to the increasing complexity our world is experiencing.
  • It calls on us to join forces, putting our knowledge and imagination together to reinvent the way we solve problems and shape the next generation of innovative solutions.
  • Reinventing tomorrow is our promise and an invitation to raise the bar in everything we do.
  • From the brilliant solutions we create with our clients, to the open and inclusive culture we create for our people. From the positive difference we make in our communities, to the added value we deliver to our shareholders.


Our Vision

To be the employer of choice and recognized globally for attracting diverse talent where inclusion is our differentiator in bringing innovative thought and solutions to our clients.

Our Purpose

Our Mission

Our Values

We do things right.

We always act with integrity – taking responsibility for our work, caring for our people and staying focused on safety and sustainability. We make investments in our clients, people and communities, so we can grow together.

We challenge the accepted.

We know that to create a better future, we must ask the difficult questions. We always stay curious and are not afraid to try new things.

We aim higher.

We do not settle – always looking beyond to raise the bar and deliver with excellence. We are committed to our clients by bringing innovative solutions that lead to profitable growth and shared success.

We put people at the heart of our business. We embrace all perspectives, collaborating to make a positive impact. Through an unparalleled focus on inclusion with a diverse team of visionaries, thinkers and doers, we build trust – in each other and across our company.

Sustainability

From the way we operate our business, to the sustainable solutions we co-create with clients and partners, we continue to look at ways to make a positive environmental, societal and economic difference for businesses, governments and communities around the world.

A sustainable future

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), PlanBeyond™ is our approach to sustainability — planning beyond today for a more sustainable future for everyone.

As a purpose-led company, we're focused on reinventing tomorrow with solutions for addressing water scarcity and biodiversity loss; transitioning from fossil fuel to clean energy sources; decarbonizing the transport and manufacturing sectors; reducing waste through circular economy innovations; building long-term resilience into critical infrastructure assets; and improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.


Commitment to sustainability

We have developed six Sustainable Business Objectives that sit at the heart of PlanBeyond. These objectives define our aspirations for how Jacobs as an organization and our 55,000+ employees can make a difference in creating a sustainable future for all.

  1. Advance the health, wellbeing and safety of society (aligned to SDG 3)

  2. Deliver solutions for the global water and sanitation crisis (aligned to SDG 6)

  3. Foster a culture of technology and innovation important to the advancement of society (aligned to SDG 9)

  4. Create a fair and inclusive future for all (aligned to SDG 10)

  5. Develop efficient and resilient solutions that deliver net environmental and societal gain (aligned to SDG 11)

  6. Accelerate solutions that address the climate emergency (aligned to SDG 13)


Commitment to climate action

Jacobs’ new Climate Action Plan lays out our next phase of climate mitigation and adaptation commitments, which build on the progress we have made since the release of our initial plan on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2020.

Our new, ambitious climate commitments include:

  1. Ensuring every project becomes a climate response opportunity

  2. Achieving Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2040

  3. Maintaining carbon neutrality status and 100% low-carbon electricity for our operations

We are proud to be the first consultancy and one of the world’s first companies with net-zero targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. We are proud to have reduced our carbon emissions by 45% since 2019. We are proud to procure 100% low-carbon electricity for our operations. And we are proud to be a carbon neutral organization.
