Gender Pay Gap Report 2024 for Ireland
Our Gender Pay Gap in 2024 – Ireland
Jacobs has three legal entities in Ireland as of 15 June 2024. These are Jacobs Engineering Ireland Limited, CH2M HILL IDC Limited, and Halcrow Group Ireland Limited. We are legally required to report gender pay and bonus gaps for Jacobs Engineering Ireland Limited only, as it has over 150 employees as of our snapshot date (15 June 2024). However, to promote transparency, we are voluntarily reporting gender and bonus pay gap information for all employees directly employed in Ireland.
We have published pay and bonus gap data for Jacobs Engineering Ireland Limited on page 16 to fulfil our statutory obligations. Otherwise, the data in this report reflects the cumulative employee population across all three Jacobs entities in Ireland.
The gender pay gap is a measure to show the difference between the gross hourly, ordinary and bonus earnings for all male employees compared to the gross hourly, ordinary and bonus earnings for all female employees during the relevant pay period, without taking into account individual roles, responsibilities and seniority level. Similarly, the bonus pay gap is a measure to show the difference between bonus remuneration for all male employees compared to bonus remuneration for all female employees, again without taking into account individual roles, responsibilities and seniority level.
Foreword
At Jacobs, we understand that inclusion is a verb, not a noun. It means being transparent and acting on our statements, commitments and initiatives to drive meaningful, measurable change both in our company, industry and in the communities that we serve. It means creating a workplace where our people are curious, embrace different perspectives and harness new ideas to bring the innovative, extraordinary solutions clients demand from us. It means creating a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive — a culture that we call TogetherBeyond℠.
We understand that bold, accountable leadership is a key driver for inclusion, and have seen great success through our operationalization of TogetherBeyond and amplification of inclusive behaviors at all levels of our company. Our 2024 Gender Pay Gap Report shows that our median gender pay gap currently stands at 26.0%, a decrease of 1.3% from last year’s report, and a cumulative decrease of 3.4% since we began reporting in 2022. Our mean pay gap is 27.7%, an increase of 0.5% from last year’s report and a cumulative decrease of 1.8% since our first report in 2022.
We’re inspired by bold actions such as our global Sustainability-Linked Bonds, where the interest rates payable on the bonds are tied to Jacobs’ success towards the aspirational goals of gender equality and reducing gender inequalities. In this regard, our global female representation at vice president and above level at fiscal year-end 2024 was 34.0% and based on merit.
However, we also acknowledge that we still have work to do. This report details our journey and highlights the actions we are taking to increase female participation, reduce our gender pay gap and ensure a most equitable workforce for everyone.
