For us, sustainability is not a short-term project, but a fundamental attitude that has shaped our actions as a fourth-generation family business for over 100 years. We bear responsibility towards our employees, our customers, our region and future generations. This responsibility is firmly anchored in our corporate culture and guides us in every decision we make.

Our first sustainability report is therefore more than just a collection of figures and climate measures. It shows how we understand and live responsibility as a company, as an employer and as a partner. We think holistically and act courageously: for us, sustainability means designing resource-saving processes, developing innovative solutions for our customers and actively promoting social engagement.
As Patrick Jacob, managing director and family man, describes it, sustainability is not a sprint for us, but an alpine expedition. It’s about focus, passion, perseverance and the willingness to continuously improve. We want to act today in such a way that we remain independent, successful and responsible tomorrow. In doing so, we focus on measures that make sense and have a long-term impact – and we are open about where we are already successful and where we want to develop further.

The year 2024 marks a milestone for us: to coincide with JACOB’s 100th anniversary, we have begun to systematically record and transparently evaluate our sustainability activities. Our report is based on the three central pillars of economy, ecology and social issues. It provides insights into our resource-saving processes, our social commitment and our innovative strength. At the same time, it makes it clear that sustainability is an ongoing process in which we are constantly evolving.

With this report, we are highlighting how sustainability is lived at JACOB. We invite you to see for yourself what drives us and how we take responsibility together.
