As climate change threatens water security around the world, more communities are turning to water reuse as a resilient water supply solution and embracing the OneWater principle that all water has value.

We provide our clients with a full range of services, from water reuse feasibility studies to design, construction and operations.

Jacobs Executive Chair
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), PlanBeyond™ is our approach to sustainability — planning beyond today for a more sustainable future for everyone.
As a purpose-led company, we're focused on reinventing tomorrow with solutions for addressing water scarcity and biodiversity loss; transitioning from fossil fuel to clean energy sources; decarbonizing the transport and manufacturing sectors; reducing waste through circular economy innovations; building long-term resilience into critical infrastructure assets; and improving the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
We have developed six Sustainable Business Objectives that sit at the heart of PlanBeyond. These objectives define our aspirations for how Jacobs as an organization and our 55,000+ employees can make a difference in creating a sustainable future for all.
Jacobs’ new Climate Action Plan lays out our next phase of climate mitigation and adaptation commitments, which build on the progress we have made since the release of our initial plan on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day in 2020.
Our new, ambitious climate commitments include:
We are proud to be the first consultancy and one of the world’s first companies with net-zero targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. We are proud to have reduced our carbon emissions by 45% since 2019. We are proud to procure 100% low-carbon electricity for our operations. And we are proud to be a carbon neutral organization.
Engineering design services for the multi-decade Delta Conveyance Program which will secure clean water for 27 million people and three million acres of agricultural lands. Explore the Delta Conveyance Program.

Together, we craft solutions that affect the way people live. From accelerating the next generation of innovators to the world’s first ultra-low emission zone, from helping communities recover to monitoring water quality to protect public health, we solve for better, never losing sight of our responsibility to each other.
Thriving communities. Giving back. A brighter future. What we do is more than a job.

Jacobs reports on a wide range of sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues through our annual ESG Disclosures. We also report on ESG issues via our Integrated Annual Report, Form 10-K, Proxy Statement, and other public materials.
Our disclosures report is focused on the priority ESG data we believe is most relevant to our business and important to our stakeholders, with alignment to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework and informed by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. Annually, we disclose to CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) and the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment, (CSA), which is the basis for the S&P Global ESG Score and a key factor for inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices. We disclose our climate risk data in line with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
We respect the human rights and dignity of people in our operations, supply chain and the communities where we work. Our approach is guided by international principles including the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Review our Human Rights Policy and Modern Slavery Act Statement to learn more.
We conduct periodic materiality assessments to identify and prioritize the topics on which we focus our strategies and reporting. Our approach considers issues that represent Jacobs’ significant environmental, social, governance and economic impacts; our ability to drive long-term value creation and what is important to internal and external stakeholders. For more information on this process, see our ESG Disclosures.
