Q . TO WHAT EXTENT ARE YOU AND JABIL PRIORITISING SUSTAINABILITY ACROSS YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN ?

» Sustainability is a key priority at Jabil and it ’ s something our customers and suppliers are looking to prioritise in their own supply chains . As part of supply chain design and orchestration , we help our customers model the carbon footprint of various supply chain options to determine how to minimise their company ’ s environmental impact . In the logistics space , we work closely with our carriers on their roadmaps to determine how and when they will adopt a sustainable fuel strategy . Internally , we ’ ve added to Jabil ’ s circular economy services with the acquisition of Retronix , a market leader in electronic component reclamation and refurbishment . These services include reverse supply chain management , medical device reprocessing and recycled packaging , all of which contribute to natural resource conservation , waste-to-landfill mitigation and greenhouse gas emissions reduction . It also advances Jabil ’ s mission to offer sustainable options to our customers who are increasing the amount of electronics in their smart products such as electric vehicles , home appliances and medical devices .
