Cultural transformation
To live our company purpose and values, while ensuring we deliver on our Sustainable Business Objectives and Targets, every employee must take responsibility for sustainability in their jobs, regardless of their role. To achieve this behavioral transformation, we have created a plan to make sustainability a cultural imperative across our global workforce. As we implement PlanBeyond 2.0, we will focus on driving sustainability deeper into our culture in the same manner that health and safety is ingrained in our individual actions and operations today. Here are some examples of how we will achieve this:
Education and upskilling
- Create a sustainability upskilling training pilot program.
- Launch global STEAM initiative focused on SDG education.
- Leverage Jacobs Employee Networks to raise awareness and integrate sustainability education into their activities.
- Continue employee engagement and education via the CollectivelySM program, our global giving and volunteering platform.
- Educate and equip our teams to reinforce sustainability risk assessment and management throughout the project lifecycle.
Knowledge sharing
- Promote Sustainability Communities of Practices.
- Expand membership and engagement in Jacobs Sustainability Network.
- Launch quarterly sustainability newsletter with strategy progress updates.
Incentives and recognition
- Introduce sustainability goals for all employees.
- Recognize and reward achievement of sustainability goals and priorities.
- Increase participation in quarterly Chief Financial Officer Sustainable Solutions Awards program.
"Our collaboration with the Royal Scottish Geographical Society is focused on education – knowing that this is the vital first step on the journey to action. The Climate Solutions Accelerator course will be available to all employees and is designed to help empower businesses to focus on what they can do and how they can incorporate those changes into purposeful business strategies.”
