1. Advance the health, wellbeing and safety of society

The COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted childhood immunization programs in around 70 countries and reversed decades of global healthcare improvements. The long-term effects on the physical and mental health of society are yet to unfold, not only due to the impacts of COVID-19, but also the disruption it has caused to the population’s ongoing healthcare needs. The role that critical service providers and their associated supply chains play in sustaining public health and safety has been thrust into the spotlight. Jacobs’ Culture of CaringSM permeates beyond the boundaries of our workforce and clients, and positively influences members of broader society – touching our friends and families within the communities in which we live, work and play.

What we’re focused on

Through our market presence, we advise governments, healthcare agencies and organizations in advancing the health, wellbeing and safety of society. Specialist work includes actively supporting efforts to address the resilience and digital transformation of health systems, solving critical challenges from the pandemic such as retrofitting COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing facilities, and reducing water, energy and waste throughout the spectrum of care.

“BeyondZero®: To 2025 and Beyond” is Jacobs’ health, safety and wellbeing strategy, which drives continuous improvement in our HSE and security performance, while enhancing the wellbeing of our employees and our partners. It also includes a framework for action to protect the environment associated with our operations and build resilience. We do our best to make a positive impact, from working with our construction partners by prioritizing our communities and our environment, to contributing to global efforts to reduce suicide mortality rates.
