Jacobs, a US-based Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction company, reported total emissions of approximately 146.45 million kg CO2e in 2024. This includes Scope 1 emissions of 15.34 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of 19.73 million kg CO2e (location-based), and Scope 3 emissions of 129.37 million kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions were purchased goods and services (57.08 million kg CO2e), business travel (50.70 million kg CO2e), and employee commuting (17.13 million kg CO2e).

Jacobs has made significant climate commitments, with targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040.

Near-Term Targets:

• Reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, from a 2019 base year.
• Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from business travel and employee commuting by 50% by 2030, from a 2019 base year.
• Ensure that 65% of its suppliers by spend, covering purchased goods and services, have science-based targets by 2025.

Long-Term Targets:

• Reduce absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2040, from a 2019 base year.

The company has also committed to achieving at least a 70% reduction in absolute Scope 1, Scope 2, and selected Scope 3 (Business Travel, Employee Commuting, and Upstream Fuel) GHG emissions by fiscal year-end 2029, relative to a FY2019 baseline. As of the end of fiscal year 2023, Jacobs had reduced these emissions by 56% from the baseline, reaching 135,215 metric tonnes CO2e.
