Our PAS 2060 Jacobs Qualifying Explanatory Statement is regularly updated and includes a Carbon Management Plan. Jacobs also published its first Climate Action Plan in 2020, and released an updated in 2022 alongside our net-zero targets.

Goal 3: Good health and well-being, Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation, Goal 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure, Goal 10: Reduced inequality, Goal 11: Sustainable cities and communities, Goal 13: Climate action
Yes

As part of our commitment to maintain carbon neutrality we have procured carbon mitigation measures equivalent to the amount of carbon emitted from our operations and business travel since 2020. Although we are actively reducing our carbon footprint in line with science, we have determined that there is a need to go further, faster by investing in carbon mitigation measures beyond out value chain. We invest in high-quality, verified carbon reduction projects that deliver co-benefits aligned with UN SDGs. We purchase from specified, audited sources, such as CDM and VCS, to ensure to double counting occurs, that the projects are actively removing emissions, and have sufficient buffers to ensure permanence where relevant. We expect our dependence on offsets and EACs/RECs will diminish over time through emissions reductions and other investments.
