In achieving Silver, Jacobs has demonstrated that Diversity and Inclusion is securely embedded at all levels of the organisation, combining visible and accountable leadership with company-wide inclusion training and a huge grassroots drive led by the 20,000+ members of their eight Jacobs Employee Networks. By committing to operationalising Diversity and Inclusion in this way Jacobs is strongly positioned to deliver sustainable impact on the diversity of the market in a sector that faces challenges from an impending talent shortage and a need to embrace the rapidly changing demographics of the working population.

Jenny Hinde, Director at the Clear Company commented ‘Silver Standard is a considerable achievement and can only be achieved through a holistic approach to Diversity and Inclusion and a commitment to working and thinking differently every day.  Businesses that do this are more able to influence authentic change, internally and within their markets and sectors’

“We’re incredibly proud of the cultural shifts in Jacobs that have seen us move from ‘Foundation’ to ‘Silver’ rating in less than 9 months,” said Jacobs Senior Vice President People & Places Solutions Europe Donald Morrison. “Central to this success has been our transparent, accountable leadership on inclusion and the rich partnership we’ve developed with leading organisations like Clear. Our continued success in the UK depends on recruiting the best diverse talent in today’s competitive market – and we’re looking forward to improving our rating even more in 2021.”
