Our Commitment to Sustainability at Jones International

At Jones International, we recognize that sustainability is not just a trend but a vital part of our future. As a company that provides services ranging from steel fabrication and HVAC systems to interior décor and industrial solutions, we are committed to building a greener, more sustainable tomorrow. While we are at the beginning of this journey, we have laid the groundwork for a future where our operations and offerings align with global sustainability goals.

Our Sustainability Vision

Our vision is to evolve into a leader in sustainable construction and industrial services by integrating environmentally-friendly practices across every facet of our business. By reducing our environmental footprint and offering innovative, sustainable solutions, we aim to contribute positively to the environment, our clients, and the communities we serve.

Sustainability Goals (2024–2030)

  • We are committed to laying the foundation for significant progress by 2030, and these are our guiding sustainability goals:
  • Reduce Carbon Emissions: Target a 30% reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions across all operations and services by 2030.
  • Zero Waste-to-Landfill: Aim for zero waste-to-landfill by 2028 through comprehensive recycling and waste reduction practices.
  • Energy Efficiency in Solutions: Ensure that 50% of the HVAC and electrical systems we install by 2026 are energy-efficient, high-performance models.
  • Sustainable Material Sourcing: Transition to using at least 80% sustainable or recyclable materials in our projects by 2027.
  • Community & Environmental Contributions: Actively engage in at least five community-driven sustainability projects annually starting in 2025.

Future Sustainability Initiatives

1. Sustainable Materials and Products
As we move forward, we are committed to selecting and promoting sustainable products, materials, and solutions for all our services:

  • Steel Fabrication: Moving toward using recycled steel for fabrications and exploring low-impact coatings and finishes for our steel products.
  • Interior Décor: We plan to offer eco-friendly materials like FSC-certified wood, low-VOC paints, and energy-saving lighting solutions.
  • Porta Cabins & Tents: We will prioritize the use of sustainable insulation materials and work toward introducing solar-powered porta cabins.

  • Shelving & Racking: A shift to lighter, recyclable materials for racking systems will be a core initiative.

2. Energy Efficiency & Emissions Reduction

  • We aim to introduce energy-saving and low-emission solutions in both our operations and client offerings:
  • HVAC Systems: In the future, we will offer energy audits along with the installation of high-efficiency HVAC systems
  • Operational Efficiency: Our goal is to integrate energy-saving technologies in our offices and warehouses, reducing our overall energy consumption
  • Sustainable Refrigerants: By 2026, we aim to exclusively use refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) in all HVAC and refrigeration installations.

3. Waste Management

Our commitment to reducing waste is at the heart of our sustainability goals:

  • Construction Waste: We plan to implement a waste segregation system at all project sites, separating recyclables such as metals and wood to ensure that waste is minimized.
  • Packaging: By 2026, we will adopt biodegradable or reusable packaging for all hardware supplies and equipment.
  • Waste-to-Landfill Reduction: We aim to divert at least 90% of our non-recyclable materials from landfills by 2028.

4. Renewable Energy Integration

As part of our future strategy, we will integrate renewable energy into both our operations and client solutions:

  • Office & Warehouse Solar Panels: We plan to install solar panels on our buildings to generate clean energy for our operations by 2027.
  • Eco-Friendly HVAC & Lighting Solutions: We will offer clients solar-powered HVAC systems and energy-efficient lighting options, making their operations greener.

5. Community Engagement and Education

In the future, we plan to play a key role in educating and engaging both our employees and clients on sustainable practices:

  • Employee Training: We will provide sustainability training for all employees to ensure they are equipped to support our eco-friendly goals.
  • Client Education: Through newsletters and workshops, we will educate clients on the long-term benefits of choosing sustainable materials and energy-efficient solutions.
  • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Our CSR initiatives will include participating in local environmental projects, such as tree planting and waste management efforts.

Measuring and Reporting Progress

We understand that to succeed, we must track and measure our progress regularly. As we begin implementing our sustainability initiatives, we will report on the following key metrics:
• Reduction in Carbon Emissions
• Percentage of Materials Sourced Sustainably
• Waste Diverted from Landfill
• Energy Savings from Efficient Installations
Annual progress reports will be made available on our website to ensure transparency with clients, partners, and the public.

Certifications and Partnerships

We are committed to obtaining the necessary certifications that demonstrate our dedication to sustainability:

  • ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems
  • LEED: Green Building Certifications for sustainable construction projects
  • Partnerships with Green Suppliers: We will collaborate with sustainable suppliers and adhere to eco-friendly procurement standards

Future Innovations and Research

Innovation will play a major role in our sustainability strategy:

  • Smart HVAC & IoT: We will invest in intelligent HVAC systems that utilize Internet of Things (IoT) technology to optimize energy use in real-time.
  • 3D Printing in Steel Fabrication: We plan to explore 3D printing technology for steel fabrication, reducing waste in production processes.
  • Circular Economy: We aim to introduce circular economy principles by offering product take-back programs and rental options for modular solutions such as porta cabins and tents.

Engaging with Our Stakeholders

We believe that sustainability is a shared responsibility, and we will work closely with our stakeholders to ensure the success of our initiatives:

  • Clients: We will encourage clients to opt for sustainable alternatives and will showcase the environmental and financial benefits of green solutions.
