This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 16,749,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 4,900,000 kg CO2e (market-based), and significant Scope 3 emissions, which comprised business travel (about 8,406,000 kg CO2e), employee commute (approximately 47,810,000 kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (around 25,823,000 kg CO2e). Despite the substantial emissions figures, Jacobs has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The company has reported its emissions data comprehensively, covering all relevant scopes, but lacks defined climate pledges or science-based targets for emissions reduction. This positions Jacobs within an industry context where many firms are increasingly committing to ambitious climate goals, yet they have yet to establish similar commitments.
