Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report 2022 for England, Wales and Scotland

2022 Jacobs Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report England, Wales, Scotland

The 2022 Report

Jacobs has four U.K. entities with more than 250 employees as of 5 April 2022.

These are:

  • Jacobs U.K. Limited
  • Jacobs Clean Energy Limited
  • Jacobs Field Services Limited
  • Halcrow Group Limited

CH2M HILL United Kingdom entity now has fewer than 250 employees and therefore is not reported separately in our 2022 report.

Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap

The gender pay gap is a measure to show the difference between the gross hourly, ordinary earnings for all male employees compared to the gross hourly, ordinary earnings for all female employees, without taking into account individual roles, responsibilities and seniority level. The gender pay gap includes regular payment of salaries and allowances and is taken from Payroll data.

“At Jacobs, we understand that “inclusion” is a verb, not a noun. It means being transparent and taking action on our statements, commitments and initiatives that drive meaningful, measurable change both in our company and in the communities that we serve. It means creating a workplace where our differences are accepted, celebrated, and harnessed to bring the innovative, extraordinary solutions clients demand from us. It means creating a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive and that is integral to our Company strategy — a culture that we call TogetherBeyond℠.”

We understand that bold, accountable leadership is a key driver for inclusion, and we have seen great success through our operationalization of TogetherBeyond and amplification of inclusive behaviors at all levels of our company. Our 2022 TogetherBeyond Year in Review Report sets out our approach to meeting our inclusion goals by building and nurturing an industry-leading culture where people of all levels, backgrounds and perspectives can achieve their career aspirations and feel like they belong.

With this in mind, I am pleased to present a 2022 Gender Pay Gap Report which – for the fifth consecutive year – shows that our average pay gap is continuing to shrink. The gap now stands at 18.1%, a continued reflection of our increased focus on promoting female talent and advancing conversations around gender equality and pay equity across our company.

In 2020 we launched an aspirational goal to achieve gender balance of 40:40:20 (40% female; 40% female; and 20% any gender, including non-binary).We have supplemented our overall commitment with a new specific aspirational goal for senior representation by 2027 on the same basis.

We are also voluntarily publishing our third Ethnicity Pay Gap Report, with a sustained gap of 9.7%.In 2020 we launched our Global Action Plan for Advancing Justice and Equality, which sets out actionable initiatives and measurable objectives to ensure equality both within Jacobs and in communities across the World. As well as our internal work, we have committed to invest $5.6M to date in targeted sponsorships, charitable donations and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) outreach aimed at supporting historically under-represented communities, bringing a new generation of talent into the industries that we serve, and developing our existing diverse talent into leadership positions. I am particularly excited about the partnership we’ve developed with the Cowrie Scholarship Foundation, a programme that will bring over 100 economically disadvantaged and fully deserving, Black British students through U.K. universities in the next decade.

As with gender, we intend to ramp up all our activities in 2022-23 and beyond to accelerate progress. We can see the positive impact of our work coming through with 56% of our global Board of Directors and 64% of our Executive Leadership Team now diverse (gender and ethnicity) and a third of our workforce members of one or more of our eight grassroots Jacobs Employee Networks.
