More information can be found on our website here: Ethics & Conduct . GOV.2 Supply Chain Jacobs operates in 40 countries and engages more than 20,000 suppliers worldwide. We have a publicly-available Supplier Code of Conduct , which we have updated for FY22. When registering within our global supplier system, suppliers must certify their agreement to our Supplier Code of Conduct. The Supplier Code of Contact covers various topics, including, but not limited to:  HSE  Sustainability  Quality  Competition and anti-trust  Bribery and corruption  Inclusion and diversity  Human rights  Business ethics Jacobs’ Supply Management is focused on ensuring project delivery, reducing overall performance and supply chain risk, and building strategic relationships with our suppliers to help drive savings and meet our key initiatives, including sustainability, human rights and diversity. During supplier qualification, we gather data on financials, HSE, quality and technical capability. This process is detailed in internal policies. Our Legal Ethics & Compliance department has a process for identifying bribery and corruption risks for suppliers and other third parties. Factors include the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) score, debarment list screening, desktop media searches, affiliation with Government entities/officials, and years in business. The assessment is conducted via a third-party background screening software, which uses external data points from sanctions lists and public news sources. Indicators of interaction/affiliation with Government entities/officials result in a high-risk classification. High risk suppliers undergo heightened due diligence, including the completion of questionnaires, commissioning of in-depth background reports, and evaluation of any additional red flags. We also assess suppliers via a human rights qualification questionnaire and certification process. As outlined in our Climate Action Plan , our Supply Chain Management and Procurement teams will establish climate action goals for major suppliers, and partner with our suppliers to improve Scope 3 data and target reductions. Through our Science-Based Targets we have committed that 65% of our suppliers by spend covering purchased goods and services will have science based targets by 2025. In January 2021, we made a three-year commitment to CDP as a supply chain member to engage our suppliers, pinpoint risks and identify opportunities to support our suppliers in reducing emissions and strengthening their climate resiliency. Jacobs was recognized on CDP’s 2021 Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for engaging our suppliers on climate change and playing a crucial role in the transition towards the net-zero sustainable economy.
