“At Jabil, we are driven by a common purpose: to make a positive impact for each other, our communities, and the environment,” said Kenny Wilson, CEO. “Our purpose and business strategy are firmly rooted in sustainable development, and it is Jabil’s priority to align our efforts with governmental regulations and policies while being mindful of the broader macroeconomic, social, and political trends that influence our contributions.”

Fiscal year 2023 accomplishments:

  • Reduced enterprise-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 29% compared to our 2019 baseline. By hitting this target, we met our operational GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) reduction target for fiscal year 2025 two years ahead of schedule.
  • Continued our transition to full use of renewable energy by signing Power Purchase Agreements with suppliers in Latin America and Europe.
  • Earned Zero Waste to Landfill certification at five manufacturing sites, putting us 5% of the way to our goal of 20% of operations achieving 90% or more landfill diversion.
  • Reduced our purchased or acquired water intensity by an average of 19% globally, compared to our 2021 baseline.
  • Strengthened our circular economy capabilities through the acquisition of Retronix, a market leader in electronic component reclamation and refurbishment.
  • Completed over 1 million volunteer hours in our local communities during calendar year 2023, achieving this bold goal for the second consecutive year.
  • Implemented health and wellbeing programs at 99% of manufacturing sites.
  • Established and qualified 25 programs for employees with disabilities across our global footprint.
