Our Operations & Resources
As a manufacturing partner to leading, global brands, Jabil is in a unique position to have a meaningful impact on the sustainability goals of our customers. Throughout the product lifecycle, Jabil takes steps to realize resource efficiencies, reduce carbon footprint, and create a healthy working environment.

Our Operations & Resources Focus Areas
Climate Action
To reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 operational greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), Jabil leverages a three-pronged strategy: Reduce, Produce, and Procure. The approach intends to reduce the amount of electricity used to manufacture products, produce on-site power where necessary, and procure power on the open market in ways that both save money and accelerate our efforts towards achieving carbon neutrality.
Healthy Environment & Safe Operations
Safety matters to us; we want our employees to go home healthy and safe every day. We are committed to providing safe facilities and operations for all employees by following global health and safety standards, policies, best practices, and local legal requirements.
Landfill Diversion
Jabil actively diverts waste from landfills through prevention, reuse, and recycling of materials and components. We collaborate with our customers across different industries, to make choices to reduce materials, recycle parts and components, and bolster the circular economy with programs that completely clean and refurbish products and components for a new life in new products.
Water Efficiency
In accordance with the World Resources Institute (WRI), Jabil analyzes our facilities worldwide to identify water stress areas. This information helps us set goals that further enhance our water conservation efforts. Jabil supports programs that educate communities about water conservation and increase wastewater recycling. We have also developed innovative solutions to collect and reuse rainwater.
