Jabil, the global manufacturing and engineering firm headquartered in St. Petersburg, has released its 11th annual Sustainability Progress Report, detailing financial performance, climate milestones and community impact for fiscal year 2025.
The report covers the period from Sept. 1, 2024 through Aug. 31, 2025 and includes all entities reflected in the company’s financial statements.
For the fiscal year ended Aug. 31, 2025, Jabil reported $29.8 billion in net revenue and $657 million in net income. The company operates approximately 100 locations in 30 countries and employs more than 140,000 people worldwide. Its corporate headquarters are located at 10800 Roosevelt Blvd. in St. Petersburg.
The 87-page report outlines progress across environmental, social and governance goals first established in 2021 as part of a five-year sustainability strategy.
On climate, Jabil set a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions 25 percent by the end of fiscal year 2025, using fiscal year 2019 as a baseline. The company reports it achieved a 29 percent reduction by the end of fiscal year 2023 and a 46 percent reduction by the end of fiscal year 2024, reaching its original goal ahead of schedule. Data is verified at a limited assurance level by an independent third party.
The company’s broader climate targets include a 50 percent operational emissions reduction by 2030 and net carbon neutrality by 2045. Purchased electricity remains its largest source of operational emissions, and mitigation efforts focus primarily on reducing Scope 2 energy usage and increasing renewable procurement.
Beyond emissions, Jabil reported 35 million square feet of global facility footprint as of Aug. 31, 2025, with 13 million square feet located in the Americas. Approximately 65 percent of its manufacturing facilities are certified to ISO 14001 environmental standards.
The report also details the company’s response to two hurricanes that struck Florida in fall 2024. Hurricane Helene impacted the Tampa Bay area Sept. 24 before causing severe flooding in North Carolina. Days later, Hurricane Milton made landfall just south of Jabil’s St. Petersburg campus as a Category 3 storm.
More than 3,500 Jabil employees were affected across Florida and North Carolina. Through the Jabil Cares Foundation, the company awarded more than $1.1 million in disaster aid to over 500 employees. Relief efforts included 143 nights of temporary housing, more than 4,000 meals delivered in Florida and 60,000 meals prepared in North Carolina through partner organizations.
Locally, grant funding supported Feeding Tampa Bay, which distributed nearly 20,000 pounds of food across the region, and the St. Pete Free Clinic, which provided diapers, bus passes and identification assistance to families in need. Metropolitan Ministries received funding to support displaced residents in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
The report highlights several St. Petersburg-based initiatives beyond disaster response. In 2025, Jabil’s corporate headquarters hosted its first “Speak Up” Integrity Festival, drawing more than 200 employees to sessions on trade compliance, procurement integrity and conflict-of-interest navigation. The company also launched enterprise employee resource groups during fiscal year 2025, including Women’s, Disability Inclusion and Emerging Talent chapters with active participation in St. Petersburg.
Community partnerships extended to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ “She is Football” weekend, which brought together nearly 700 participants for mentoring and leadership programming, and to Neurodiversity Night with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where Jabil’s St. Petersburg team hosted local organizations focused on inclusion.
Jabil says it intends to continue releasing sustainability progress reports annually. The fiscal year 2025 edition marks the company’s eleventh year of public ESG reporting.
For St. Petersburg, the report underscores the scale of a global company headquartered locally — and the growing expectation that climate performance, workforce inclusion and community resilience are now core business metrics, not side initiatives.
