Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Jacobs

Sustainability at Jacobs means ensuring long-term business resilience and success while positively contributing toward the economy, society and the environment. Through our PlanBeyond program, we are inspired to make a positive environmental, societal and economic difference for businesses, governments and communities around the world — from the way we operate our business, to the work we perform with clients and other organizations.

We advance innovations that improve energy ef?ciency, resilience, conservation, reuse and reclamation of vital air, land and water resources. In FY2018, we reduced carbon emissions by more than 37 million tons in Value+ Savings on client projects, equivalent to a full year’s energy use by 4 million homes. In addition, the former CH2M business exceeded its 5-year commitment to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions by 25%, ultimately achieving a 29% reduction since 2012.

Environmental Sustainability

No longer a secondary concern to human progress, environmental impacts now guide social and economic decisions around all horizontal and vertical infrastructure development.

Addressing the past, we need to continue to remediate environmental damage. And looking to the future, the planning and sustainability steps we take today could lead to a more climate-resilient existence.

That’s why clients trust Jacobs – one of the top ranked global environmental firms and a recipient of the World Environment Center’s Gold Medal Award for Sustainable Development – to help solve their most complex environmental challenges and opportunities.

We partner with government agencies, municipalities, private sector companies and leading environmental organizations to safely clean-up legacy liabilities for redevelopment, and deliver proven industry expertise on new infrastructure, sustainability and environmental health and safety initiatives around the globe.
