Our core values

Jacobs is led by our simple yet essential core values; in balance, they form the solid foundation upon which our business is built.

People Are Our Greatest Asset

As a professional services company, our talented employees are the key to developing and sustaining relationships: they invest time with our clients, understand their businesses, retain that accumulated client knowledge and pass it forward, and ultimately, our people deliver the work that adds value to our clients’ businesses. Jacobs is committed to providing our employees with an inclusive environment and meaningful work through which they can make lasting contributions as they develop and grow their careers with us.

We Are Relationship Based

This core value is our client-focused value. It describes our objective to create and maintain ongoing business relationships with our clients. Jacobs delivers superior and measurable value that exceeds what our clients can find elsewhere. We serve as their advocates and support them in their global aspirations. In simplest terms, our “relationship” value establishes an expectation of service, trust, and business partnership.

Growth Is An Imperative

Jacobs is a for-profit business. Our clients' needs drive our business, so we grow in pace with their growth. Indeed, to compete in the global marketplace demands growth. And profitable growth is what all our stakeholder groups — client, employee, and shareholder — desire most from us.
