JBT’s purpose, vision, and values anchor our work, from core business operations to research and development to internal teamwork and collaboration. This also includes sustainability and responsibility, which are essential to how we do business. We embed these principles into the solutions we offer to customers and extended them to our own operations. Together, they form a unifying framework that helps keep everyone at JBT focused on fortifying the future of food.
“We exist to fortify the future of food through innovative solutions that enable a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable food system.”

Learn More About Our ESG Strategy
Sustainability and responsibility are essential to how we do business. We’ve embedded these principles into the solutions we offer to customers and extended them to our own operations through our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy.
Our ESG strategy focuses on three key pillars that help us have a positive impact on our planet, workforce, communities, and, ultimately, our business. These pillars, and related ESG commitments and actions, help fuel our actions to fortify the future of food.
