The Collectively℠ Program at Jacobs

Giving and Volunteering at Jacobs

The Collectively℠ program brings our purpose to life by enabling our people to truly live our company values, so we can push the limits of what’s possible to impact the communities in which we live and serve.

Through our partnership with Benevity, a world leader in online workplace giving and volunteering, our people support charities around the globe through payroll giving, paid volunteering efforts, matching campaigns and company donations.

Giving and volunteering activities at Jacobs

Employee matching

We match employee donations 1:1 to over two million eligible charities on Collectively up to a specified user cap each year. We also lead a range of campaigns throughout the year cross-cutting key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and Jacobs’ company values and priorities. 

Volunteering

We support our people to volunteer on company time to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) opportunities. We also offer volunteer rewards for each hour an employee volunteers towards any eligible cause, up to a specified user cap per year.

Global Collectively Ambassador Network

We have 175+ employee volunteers championing the use of Collectively throughout the company. They foster a culture that connects Jacobs’ colleagues to their passions, while upholding our approach to sustainability. The network drives engagement and puts words into actions through development and promotion of giving and volunteering opportunities.

Inclusion & Belonging

We advance opportunities for all by creating an environment where everyone can thrive and belong. By promoting programs and volunteer opportunities, our people are enabled to contribute to positive change in the broader society.

Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Education

At Jacobs, STEAM and sustainability are at the heart of our business. We have developed and are continuing to deliver a global STEAM education and engagement program that engages employees and students around the world.

Health & Wellbeing

We are focused on making our communities safer, healthier and advocating for positive mental health. There is a strong alignment with BeyondZero® – Jacobs' approach to health, safety and holistic wellbeing. We aim to improve the mental health and wellbeing in the communities where we live and work by taking positive action through employee engagement in community missions through Collectively.

Sustainability

Through giving and volunteering we aim to strengthen our alignment with the UN SDGs, so that we create a positive impact on human lives, while protecting the environment, economy and society.
