JAX Sustainability Statement
Sustainability is a complex, dynamic, and interconnected concept. JAX endeavors to make thoughtful, intentional decisions that align with our core values and support our vision for sustainability. We define sustainability as the union of environmental stewardship, social equity, and economic prosperity to create a healthy, just, and resilient society where current and future generations can thrive.
At JAX, we understand every decision and action, whether directly and indirectly, has an ecological, social, and economic impact. We are committed to practices that improve human health, reduce our environmental impact, advance social equity, and support inclusive economic development. While we are proud of our work, we know there is more we can do, and we are committed to taking new bold steps to advance our sustainability efforts.
