Governance

Sustainability at Jacobs is the responsibility of all employees, regardless of role.

Our PlanBeyond 2.0 strategy and the delivery of associated plans and programs is led by our Global Head of Sustainability and corporate sustainability team.

We are creating a network of Sustainability Leads across our business units to operationalize sustainability and drive strategy and target delivery into each of our Lines of Business.

Our Senior Leadership Team each have a leadership role to ensure the increasing performance and delivery of our Sustainable Business Objectives, and each have non-financial goals tied to their compensation – with at least one goal related to inclusion and diversity and other sustainability-related measures.

The PlanBeyond Executive Steering Committee is our executive-level body that meets five-times a year to agree on our strategy, review progress against commitments, update our plans around ESG risks and opportunities and provide review and oversight across our disclosures and reporting. The committee is comprised of the Chair & Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, Chief People Officer, Chief Strategy & Communications Officer, Chief Digital & Information Officer, President and Senior Vice Presidents of both Lines of Business, Senior Vice President Strategy & Solutions, Head of Enterprise Risk Management, Head of Investor Relations, Corporate Secretary and Deputy General Counsel.

The Board of Directors has approved the creation of a new Board Committee that will have oversight of ESG. The ESG & Risk Committee will commence in July 2021. Information on the Committee’s Charter can be found here.

Our governance is reinforced by our commitment to ethics and integrity through our codes of conduct, our Human Rights policy, and our commitment to implementing the UN Global Compact’s ten principles on human rights, labor, environment and anti-corruption.
