We understand our responsibility to be good stewards of natural resources and positively contribute to global environmental and social challenges. We listened to our stakeholders and developed our strategy and goals in alignment with the social and environmental challenges they care about most, and the areas we believe we can make the biggest impact.
We have established three pillars that form the foundation for our global sustainability efforts:
• Our People & Communities
Focusing on the health and wellbeing of our people and the communities in which we operate.
• Our Operations & Resources
Ensuring we operate and manage resources in our sites as efficiently as possible.
• Our Innovative Solutions
Delivering sustainable innovations throughout the product lifecycle.
When it comes to global environmental challenges such as climate change, water scarcity and waste management, we are committed to doing our part. We proactively manage our operational impact, pioneer new technologies and help our customers bring products to market utilizing resources responsibly.
Our Operations & Resources Focus Areas:
• Climate Action
At Jabil, we are committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the scientific community’s recommendation, targeting for 1.5-degree Celsius by optimizing operational efficiency and increasing our use of renewable energy in our operations around the world. We are committed to reducing our emissions by 50% by 2030. In October 2021, we increased our GHG reduction goal from 45% to 50% by 2030 to accelerate our efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality.
• Healthy Environment & Safe Operations
Safety matters to us; we want our employees to go home healthy and safe every day. We are committed to providing safe facilities and operations for all employees by following global health and safety standards, policies, best practices and local legal requirements.
• Resource Efficiency
We recognize the importance of caring for natural resources and being good stewards of the environment. At Jabil, we are committed to the responsible use and care of water through our water conservation plans, as well as minimizing the amount of waste from operations going to landfills.
Jabil commits to completing one million volunteer hours in 2022! How will we do it? Through four pathways: company-wide global volunteer days; team- or site-sponsored events; "Your Day, Your Cause," a new, additional day of PTO provided to employees worldwide; and personal volunteer time by individual employees.
