Sustainable Solutions 
for a Growing World
2022 ESG REPORT

As our world grows, our resources are 
constrained. To feed that world in the 
future, we need sustainable solutions 
today. JBT is committed to empowering our 
customers with those solutions right now.
Recently, the world’s population reached 8 billion—a number that, 
in part, represents progress on a global scale. Improvements in 
social infrastructure have extended life. This milestone, however, 
also represents hurdles ahead. As our world grows, our resources 
are becoming increasingly constrained. To feed the future, we need 
sustainable solutions today. 
JBT is committed to empowering our customers with those solutions 
right now. In 2022, we collaborated to streamline and optimize food 
and beverage production lines worldwide. In turn, this enabled our 
customers to enhance food quality and safety and reduce food and 
packaging waste. These customers also, in many cases, extended 
their products’ shelf lives, reduced operational emissions, and 
increased yields.
Two key macro challenges impacted our customers throughout the 
year: industry labor shortages and volatile energy markets, both of 
which contributed to limited product availability and higher costs. 
In response, we delivered integrated and automated solutions that 
helped them increase productivity and put their workers’ skills to best 
use. Meanwhile, we rolled out a new generation of highly efficient and 
fuel-flexible products to help facilitate reductions in customers’ usage 
of energy.
These innovations mark JBT’s first year of progress under our Elevate 
2.0 strategy for growth. Through this strategy, we are paving the way 
for JBT to evolve into a pure-play food and beverage leader. With 
this shift, we have gained a renewed sense of clarity in who we are 
and the impact we want to make—on our customers, our employees, 
and our neighbors around the world. We aspire to be an employer of 
choice for talented, purpose-driven individuals and we are creating 
a culture where every employee can feel that they belong. In the 
regions where we operate, our vision is to help build strong, vibrant 
communities by using our resources and time to give back. 
As you will read throughout this report, JBT is dedicated to fostering a 
sustainable future. It’s about doing right by our customers, employees, 
and communities, as well as the planet. The success of our customers 
and stakeholders is directly linked to the responsible use of the 
world’s precious resources. That’s why we are committed to providing 
solutions for circularity, process automation, energy and water 
conservation, and electrification. We are well-positioned within the 
market to affect meaningful change and leave a positive legacy that 
may truly impact future generations.

Partnering for Sustainable Solutions
The food and beverage industry that we serve gets to the heart of sustainability, touching on topics 
from water stewardship to food security to community health. Underpinning these areas is an urgent 
need for climate action and solutions to feed hungry people around the world. More than one third of 
GHG emissions caused by human activity are attributed to the way we produce, process, and package 
food.1 In the face of supply chain, economic, and labor challenges, the time to work together for more 
sustainable, equitable food systems is now.

Launching a New Era of Growth and 
Technological Transformation
JBT is a pioneer in the food and beverage industry, known 
for developing and adopting breakthrough technologies 
early on. Building on that legacy, we recently launched 
Elevate 2.0—our new strategy for technology-driven 
growth. The strategy focuses on digital transformation, 
automation, and sustainable solutions, enabling us to 
deliver improved access to parts and service, advanced 
functionality, and measurable customer results.
Under this umbrella, we launched our OmniBlu™ platform, 
which combines best-in-class service, parts availability, 
and machine optimization. OmniBlu leverages machine 
learning, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), 
and other digital tools to address customer pain points 
while providing actionable insights through efficiency and 
sustainability related data collection. 
The platform captures data from the machine and optical 
sensors, which it visualizes through the user interface. 
Some insights are enriched through our data science 
models to alert users to actions that will improve the 
efficiency of our machines. For example, one JBT 
customer pairs OmniBlu with our DSI equipment to 
ensure their water jet is only operational when product 
is on the belt. This minimizes wear and tear to maximize 
the machine’s lifespan while reducing water usage. 
Customers can also use OmniBlu to monitor and optimize 
clean-in-place processes to reduce water and energy 
usage for their freezers.
OmniBlu delivers: 
•	 Proactive maintenance through easy-to-follow 
preventive maintenance plans, diagnostics, inspections, 
and training.
•	 Frictionless parts & services via a digital portal that 
allows customers to easily find the right part for their 
machine every time.
•	 Data-based insights driven by digital tools such as 
optical sensors, machine learning, and AI. 
•	 Machine performance monitoring to ensure proper 
operation of the asset to generate optimal asset health 
and productivity across production lines.

Optimizing Utilities 
Food, water, and energy have one thing 
in common: global demand for all three 
continues to rise. A confluence of factors is 
putting pressure on these resources, including 
population and economic growth, changes 
in consumer diets, and urbanization. For 
food and beverage manufacturers, enhanced 
management of utilities such as energy, water, 
and steam can reduce their overall operating 
costs and GHG emissions.
This became a heightened pressure for many customers in 2022, 
a year when global energy markets were especially volatile. For 
customers prioritizing projects to improve sustainability and reduce 
overall costs, initiatives related to water stewardship and energy 
management were high on the list. We supported them, in part, by 
improving existing products to make them even more efficient. For 
example, we updated our innovative DSI™ Adaptive 3D™ portioning 
system to be even more accurate and water-efficient. We also 
introduced several new solutions, aimed at systems-wide utilities 
reductions, for example: 
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Smarter Sanitization
Our new JBT SuperStatic™ retort is equipped with enhanced heating 
and cooling technology, which customers can use to sterilize a 
range of products. By shortening overall processing times, it enables 
customers to increase product output while simultaneously reducing 
their usage of energy, water, and steam.
Better Blanching
As popularity of frozen vegetables continues to rise, JBT Urtasun™ 
offers an innovative new blancher with an energy-saving solution. 
During the cooling process, the blancher stores energy released by 
the product, which it later uses to re-heat the water. The blancher’s 
design also reduces steam consumption and water and chemicals 
needed for cleaning. For JBT customers such as Florette, a farmer-
owned cooperative based in the U.K., our JBT FTNON™ blanching 
solutions have enabled reductions in steam and energy usage and 
more consistent cooking, which leads to improved product quality.

CUSTOMER SOLUTION
Reimagining the Modern Food Processing 
Factory with Norsk Kylling
When Norway’s leading poultry producer, Norsk Kylling, planned its 
new production facility, the company had clear goals in mind, create 
a signature building that put sustainable food production, Norwegian 
agriculture, and animal welfare first. 
JBT proved an ideal collaborator—providing a dedicated team to 
support the project at every step. Energy-smart solutions were core 
to the build, as Norsk Kylling wanted to leverage renewable solutions.
Among other things, we invested in electrification 
and focused on energy flexibility, primarily through 
energy storage,” said Norsk Kylling’s Project Leader 
Håvard Staverlökk. “The plant is built for zero 
emissions and uses only renewable energy, and we 
have reduced GHG emissions by 100% compared 
with our old factory.”
With energy savings in mind, JBT established two integrated, 
electric-fed production lines using products such as our JBT Stein™ 
M™ Fryers and JBT Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® Spiral Freezers. 
We even redesigned our JBT Stein™  TwinDrum™ Spiral Oven to be 
compatible with renewably sourced electric heat. 
Pushing the partnership further, we helped Norsk Kylling develop 
high-yield recipes and trained its staff to optimize water, detergent, 
and energy while using the factory’s Clean-In-Place system. 
During the whole installation and start-up phase, we 
were almost constantly at the site, which created a 
real team spirit and a lot of engagement,” said JBT 
Engineering Manager Teddy Svensson.
Functional Freezing
Efficient freezing solutions can help customers put their utility 
bills on ice. For example, compared with traditional drum 
freezers, our Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® self-stacking spiral 
freezer has been shown to reduce customers’ energy usage by 
up to 60%. The freezer’s easy-to-clean design enables further 
savings in water, chemicals, and labor. In 2022, we introduced 
our new JBT Frigoscandia GYRoCOMPACT® 70 , which has 
been updated with a smaller physical footprint, up to 20% 
more capacity, and oil reductions of up to 75%.
Heating with a Twist
Energy-flexible equipment gives customers the freedom to 
power their operations as they see fit. A prime example is our 
new, electric JBT Stein™ TwinDrum™ Spiral Oven, which gives 
customers the option to use renewable energy and forego oil 
and gas heating by plugging directly into the grid. Because the 
electric heater is fitted into the machine, it also offers better 
reliability and is easier to clean and maintain.

When good food goes to waste, it adds up to 
social and environmental problems on a massive 
scale. In 2021, the number of people affected 
by hunger reached 828 million—up 150 million 
since 2019.2 That’s why it’s so disheartening that 
about 40% of all food produced goes to waste.3 
As that food sits in landfills, it contributes to a 
warming climate, accounting for about a tenth of 
global GHG emissions.4
In 2022, food shortages and supply chain challenges brought 
concerns of food insecurity to the fore. In line with our purpose, we 
worked closely with food and beverage manufacturers to help them 
increase production and make the most of the products they produce.
Protecting Produce from Farm to Consumer
As a key source of vitamins, minerals, and fibers, fresh fruits and 
vegetables are a staple of good nutrition and health. JBT’s Fresh 
Produce Technologies provide a range of postharvest solutions to 
protect these resources from going to waste.
Natural coatings are a cornerstone of our postharvest business, 
and we have extended our offerings in recent years. For example, 
our Endura-Fresh™ 9000 citrus coating acts as a biodegradable, 
renewable, and environmentally friendly barrier that protects citrus 
from moisture, dirt, bacteria, and spoilage. In 2022, we introduced 
our latest plant-based coating, Nature-Cote™ Avocado. The 
plant-based, edible coating—which we hope to expand for citrus 
application—enhances the product’s natural ability to lock 
in moisture and stay fresh.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Minimizing Product Loss and 
Maximizing Shelf Life in Bottled 
and Packaged Foods
To make a meaningful dent in food waste, we focus 
on comprehensive solutions that achieve savings from 
factory to shelf. For example, the JBT FVPGrow™, 
introduced in 2022, prevents product loss early 
on. Juice and puree producers use the FVPGrow 
to separate seeds, skins, and other materials from 
vegetables and fruits. The solution offers continuous, 
hygienic juice extraction at up to one ton per hour5 
and minimizes product loss to maximize yield. Once 
the product is bottled or packaged, customers can 
dramatically extend its shelf life using High Pressure 
Processing (HPP) technology from JBT Avure®. 
Our HPP systems reduce the need for artificial 
preservatives while dramatically extending shelf life 
and enhancing safety.
Preserving Quality in Frozen Foods
Compared to fresh alternatives, frozen foods 
generate 47% less household waste.6 However, 
many frozen food processors face a common 
problem: During the slow freezing process, large ice 
crystals can form and leave protein products badly 
damaged. The JBT Frigoscandia ADVANTEC™ 
Impingement Freezer solves that challenge using 
innovative air jet technology. By enabling faster 
freezing times, the freezer avoids large ice crystals 
and helps customers prevent various protein 
products from going to waste. The freezer also 
can be used for crust freezing, which stabilizes the 
surface of thin-sliced deli products. The multitasking 
tool minimizes waste and maximizes conformity 
while improving throughput, hygiene, and yield.

Delivering Best-in-Class Quality and Growth—
from Mexico to Belize
When the coconut water production company, Silk Grass Farms, 
wanted to grow their operations, JBT provided a turnkey solution. 
From technologies for fruit handling and production from JBT 
FTNON™ to HPP equipment from JBT Avure®, we supported them 
with a range of products and services tailored to meet their needs—
both now and into the future.
We were looking to invest and grow to become a 
sustainable agribusiness that can support the vision of the 
company: investing in our local community, our people, 
and creating a business that could preserve and protect 
a 27,500-acre tract of land located in Belize," said Henry 
Canton, executive director of 
Silk Grass Farms. "With our 
newly inaugurated plant, we 
are not only able to increase 
our production, but have 
expanded our product range 
into a wide variety of drinks, 
juices, and purees—not 
only for the Belizean retail 
market, but to export premium 
quality Belizean products to 
companies around the world.”
Meanwhile, our customer, Good Foods Mexico, which produces 
a range of avocado-based products, recently purchased a third 
Avure, which they say gives their product a food-quality, safety, 
and shelf-life edge.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Increasing Packaging Circularity 
Proper packaging can make food and beverages more accessible 
while enhancing safety and minimizing waste. 
Packaging that isn’t reused, composted, or recycled, however, can wreak havoc on our ecosystems and climate.
•	 	About 36% of all plastic produced is used for packaging, with 85% destined for landfills.7 
•	 	Millions of tons are in the ocean, causing problems for communities and aquatic life.
•	 	Approximately 98% of single-use plastic is made of fossil fuels.
The good news? Most consumers say they’d be willing to pay more for brands that implement sustainable 
packaging alternatives.8 Our customers are taking note, with many pursuing initiatives to increase packaging 
circularity and minimize waste. To help them with their commitments, we provide solutions that reduce plastic 
packaging and are compatible with recyclable or compostable paper-based materials. In 2022, we launched 
several high-speed, safe, and automated solutions for materials from netting to pouches to cans.
Shrinking the Use of Single-Use Plastic
For customers looking to extend shelf life and seal in freshness 
while reducing their use of plastic, Proseal is an ideal solution. 
Compared to industry alternatives, such as plastic clamshells 
and clip-on lid containers, trays sealed with Proseal equipment 
use up to 45% fewer packaging materials. In recent years 
Proseal has played an active role in the development of plastic 
alternative packaging, and works with many leading tray and 
punnet manufacturers. As Proseal emerges at the forefront 
of sustainable packaging innovation, we were proud to see it 
recognized with several industry honors in 2022.

Providing a Streamlined Approach
Worldwide demand for food products like turkeys, hams, and 
chickens has remained steady but the supply of labor has decreased. 
JBT Tipper Tie’s clipping and packaging systems offer an automated 
solution to help keep production lines running strong. In 2022, 
Tipper Tie introduced the TN3004, which is ideal for traditional 
netted products like whole turkeys and spiral-sliced hams. It can also 
work for netting turkey breasts, bone-in or boneless hams, briskets, 
and even mortadella.”
“The nice thing about the TN3004 is the operator simply places the 
product onto a conveyor, it’s weighed, and then all that information is 
printed out,” said JBT Tipper Tie’s Director of Product Management, 
Conrad Faust. “The product is netted, a handle created, and a tag 
applied so everything is ready for sale in a grocery store.”
Pioneering Soft Fruit Packing Solutions
Out of all the produce categories, soft fruit is perhaps the one with 
the greatest variety of products, sizes, colors, and shapes. Packing 
berry cartons in cases can also be labor-intensive at a time when 
labor is in short supply. To meet both challenges, in 2022, Proseal 
introduced the new high-speed, fully automatic CP3™ case packing 
system. CP3 is a robotic solution that maximizes throughput and can 
handle multiple formats, such as pots and sandwich packs made 
from board and fully recyclable A-PET and C-PET plastics.
Meanwhile, within Europe’s soft fruit sector, Proseal is a leader in 
the space, with many  top-sealed trays in the U.K. sealed on Proseal 
machines. In 2022, many of our customers are now enjoying the 
benefits of recent developments in plastic alternative packaging, 
and are in many cases processing these new alternative packs on 
their existing Proseal units, often at the same performance levels 
as existing plastic packs.
Perfecting the Pouch
For pre-portioned products from pet food to soups, soft pouches 
are a popular trend. However, they can be difficult to control during 
the sterilization process, which poses a food safety issue. After 
three years of development, JBT introduced its solution: Continuous 
Sterilization for flexible packaging. The solution places pouches in 
a pocket within the carrier to ensure that they remain in position to 
facilitate food preservation in an innovative packaging solution.
Developing a Formula for Success
Safety, quality, and hygiene are crucial for any product—none more 
so than infant formula. Our brand PLF® International continues to 
exceed expectations in the development of the safest, most hygienic 
formula processing technology available. In 2022, we launched the 
JBT PLF VGS™ vacuum gassing seamer, an exceedingly sustainable 
gassing solution. It can process up to 30 cans per minute with low 
gas consumption and is designed to keep container rims clean for 
seaming and prevent powder from migrating out of containers.

increase. The market was valued at over $163 million in 2021, with 
a projected compound annual growth rate of 11.4% from 2022 to 
2028.10 Because this production method eliminates the need to 
raise farm animals for food, cell-based proteins have the potential to 
revolutionize the way food is produced. The foods pose benefits to 
the environment and human health and can help customers bolster 
global food supplies while reducing costs.
As our industry advances the development and commercialization of 
these products, we’re proud to lend our support and expertise. Many 
of our existing products can easily be adopted for protein and dairy 
alternatives. In other cases, we collaborate to develop technologies 
that meet our customers’ specific processing needs. 
Unlocking the Potential of Cell-Based Protein 
While conventional animal agriculture is a major contributor to 
global GHG emissions and nutrient pollution, advancements in 
cell-based protein pose a sustainable, ethical, and safe solution. 
When produced via renewable energy, cell-based protein reduces 
global warming impacts by up to 92% and uses up to 95% less 
land, compared to conventional beef production. Based on scaling 
and renewable energy, by 2030, cell-based meat could also be cost 
competitive with conventional meat.11

Accelerating the Development 
of Sustainable Foods
As people gain awareness of the health and environmental 
ramifications of their diets, many are re-thinking the types of 
products they consume. In a recent U.S. study, 47% of participants 
identified as “flexitarians,” meaning they lean toward a plant-based 
diet, with moderate consumption of dairy and meat.9
JBT’s A&B Process Systems is stepping up to help food innovators 
bring cell-based protein to scale. In 2022, we launched the all-
new READYGo Bioreactor, designed specifically to meet cell-
based protein processors’ needs. Manufactured for operational 
environments spanning from pilot to full-scale production, the 
READYGo Bioreactor meets global bio-processing standards and 
offers a flexible, tailored solution. The Bioreactor was designed to 
help industry processors address issues such as scalability, lead 
time, and capital expense—supporting market expansion while 
minimizing production-related costs.
In 2022, JBT acquired Alco Foods, a leading provider of further food 
processing solutions and production lines. 
“The acquisition of Alco complements and expands our product 
offerings in further processing—in particular, expanding our offering in 
convenience meal lines, as well as alternative and plant-based protein 
technology,” said Bob Petrie, President of Protein and Executive Vice 
President of JBT.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Enhancing Plant-Based Protein—
from Freezer to Oven 
Compared to animal-based products, plant-based alternatives 
generally require less agricultural land and water and emit fewer 
GHGs. For example, plant-based burgers have been associated with 
up to 98% fewer GHG emissions than burgers made with beef.12
While plant-based foods have many sustainable qualities, processors 
can use efficiency-boosting strategies to further minimize the GHG 
footprint of the products they produce. For example, customers can 
use the JBT Frigoscandia™ Low Volume System (LVS) to optimize 
the freezing process—consuming 50% less refrigerant and boosting 
efficiency by 15%. We also see our electric ovens, cookers, and 
fryers as the future of plant-based processing. Electricity reduces 
gas use; can be sourced using renewable solar, hydro, or wind 
power; and can lower operational costs.
CUSTOMER SOLUTION
Continuing our Legacy of Customer 
Service with COVAP
In 2022, COVAP, a cooperative of pork and dairy producers 
in Spain, acquired a new UHT Sterideal ST24k for its plant in 
Córdoba. The plant already had three UHTs purchased from 
JBT, which have helped the company continue to produce 
high-quality, safe products while improving energy efficiency, 
reducing their carbon footprint, and lowering costs. 
Speaking to the sustainability and energy-saving 
advantages of JBT’s indirect thermal treatment technology, 
Javier Pérez Amurrio, who is the Dairy Industrial Director 
at COVAP, remarked, “We have known JBT's technology 
for over 40 years—its efficiency, the performance of its 
equipment, and its service.”
CUSTOMER SOLUTION
Saving Resources at HKScan
For our customer HKScan, a large producer of meat, 
plant-based, and ready meals based in Sweden, the LVS 
refrigeration system is an ideal energy-smart solution. The 
system has enabled HKScan to save on hot gas, leftover 
energy often available in large quantities in refrigeration 
systems, which can be used to defrost freezers.
“With its intelligent hot gas control, we use much less hot 
gas to defrost than our other freezers and we avoid having 
to place the freezer in queue system,” said Tobias Janson, 
technical manager at HKScan Sweden. The company 
can now defrost up to three freezers at a time, enabling 
quicker turnaround and water and energy savings.
Realizing Fresh Pastures for Alternative Dairy
Health and environmental factors are driving purchases of dairy 
alternatives around the globe. The market for dairy alternatives—
such as oat milk, almond milk, and soya—is projected to reach over 
$51.65 billion by 2028.13
For customers branching into these markets, the JBT Sterideal® 
HX SteriCompact UHT Sterilizer is a highly effective solution. 
Thanks to its innovative coil design, the Sterideal HX produces far 
less precipitation (fouling)—and therefore, better performance with 
longer production runs—compared to many traditional systems. This 
also preserves the product’s naturally high protein content, which 
normally suffers when the precipitation is heated. 
Another effective solution is the JBT Homogenizer, which creates a 
smooth liquid from plant-based sources. Making use of a powerful, 
high-pressure pump design for UHT sterilization systems, the 
Homogenizer forces the product through a narrow opening, with 
larger drops of fat broken up into smaller ones and spread evenly 
through the product.

Reducing Our 
Climate Impact
In addition to collaborating with customers on reduced-carbon 
product solutions, we are committed to measuring and reducing 
our company’s GHG emissions.
In 2022, our Helsingborg, Sweden, site implemented two initiatives 
to reduce our transportation-based GHG emissions. They replaced 
the diesel pool car with an electric one that employees can book and 
lock/unlock using a mobile app. An electric bike was also purchased 
for employee use. These options are more environmentally friendly, 
and the bike provides an added health benefit for the employees. We 
also transferred some of our clip production to our Glinde, Germany, 
site for the European market. This increases local supply and also 
reduces air and sea freight, and their associated emissions, from our 
U.S. clip manufacturing site in Apex, North Carolina. 
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Site Certifications
Three of JBT’s sites hold the International Organization 
for Standardization’s (ISO) 14001 certification for 
environmental management systems, and we hold 
CO2 reduction management certification for our site 
in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 2022, we were proud to 
announce that our A&B Process Systems business, based 
in the U.S., achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality 
management systems and performance.
Using Energy Efficiently
Energy-smart solutions drive emissions reductions and reduce 
operational costs. To optimize our energy usage, we invest in facility 
upgrades and process improvements as well as install solar panels 
at selected sites.
In 2022, our Sandusky, Ohio, facility participated in an Energy 
Demand Response program, which provided payments to 
heavy energy users that agreed to reduce their consumption 
during times of power grid stress. Our participation resulted in a 
capacity performance of 114%, and we reinvested the payments 
to implement better energy management software and tools. 
Additionally, at several sites, we replaced outdated boilers and 
invested in long-lasting, energy-efficient LED lighting.

Managing Water 
Intelligently
Our operations are not water intensive, yet we strive to 
practice strong water stewardship and minimize use. We 
collect site-wide water data, which we use to monitor 
our usage and identify opportunities for improvement, 
particularly at facilities in water stressed areas.
SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
Handling Waste 
Responsibly
With our eye for proper resource management, we are 
hard wired to minimize operational waste. We seek 
creative solutions to improve waste management and 
circularity, including the following initiatives, which we 
implemented at various sites in 2022:
•	 Installing a site compactor to replace smaller skips 
and bins, which also reduces the need for waste 
collection at the site, and therefore transportation-
based emissions.
•	 Implementing an enterprise-wide digital sales 
collateral sharing platform to avoid paper, ink, and 
plastic waste created by unnecessary printing.
•	 Scheduling shredding and recycling for obsolete 
paper records at our Sandusky, Ohio, site which, 
since January 2022, has saved the equivalent of 
over 100 cubic yards of landfill space and 580 trees.

Inspiring Employee-Led Action
Driving sustainable improvements is a companywide effort, and we’re excited to 
see many employees stepping up to do their part. Through our You Did What?! 
program, we document employee-led environmental and social initiatives to 
celebrate and share their success. Examples from 2022 include:
•	 Proseal U.K. employees launched a Plastic Free Department challenge to celebrate Waste Free July. The winning 
team received chocolates and priority access to the site’s How to Recycle training, which it launched in September.
•	 Proseal U.S. employees trained their colleagues on sustainability, environmentalism, and social responsibility and 
established a Green Team and Sustainability Committee to discuss and promote green business solutions.
•	 JBT’s Livingston, U.K., team enhanced the site’s waste handling and energy reductions by installing a new trash 
compactor, boiler, and LED light fixtures.
Celebrating Sustainable Strides in Araraquara
Though Brazil holds more freshwater than any other country, its residents have 
been struggling in the face of severe drought.15 Understanding this, employees 
at our Araraquara facility have undertaken a range of environmental initiatives, 
demonstrating what it means to put sustainability to work.
The team installed a new water reuse system at its site in 2021. This system allowed 
the site to reuse water in their washing processes. They also produced and distributed 
water reduction flow parts to local JBT employees—a solution that generates an 
average of 10% in household water savings. 
Additionally, the team launched numerous projects to reduce operational waste, such 
as replacing plastic water bottles and disposable cups with reusable versions and 
implementing a kitchen recycling program. For its ingenuity and dedication, the team 
earned JBT’s 2022 Sustainability Award, which we grant to the team whose projects 
best represent our commitment to the environment.

VIBRANT WORKPLACE
Every JBT employee has a part in our story. 
Our goal is to empower them to help us 
shape each chapter as it unfolds. From our 
recruitment and development programs to the 
benefits we provide, we want every employee 
to be fulfilled at JBT.
That starts by engaging employees to ensure we’re meeting their 
needs. We do so through an employee survey, which we administered 
for the first time in late 2021. Based on the results, each division 
developed a plan to make key insights actionable at the local level. 
Several divisions also administered shorter pulse surveys in 2022 to 
follow up on the least favorable responses from the original survey. 
We were encouraged that—compared to the original survey—53% 
of the pulse survey responses improved. We also hosted town halls 
during the year to engage employees around JBT’s new corporate 
strategy, Elevate 2.0.
Recruiting Top Talent 
Our talent acquisition strategy is integral to creating a diverse and 
inclusive workforce, and in 2022, we filled over 1,500 positions and 
welcomed nearly 600 new employees thanks to recent acquisitions. 
Embracing workplace flexibility in a challenging environment has 
helped us attract and retain diverse talent and allowed us to increase 
our talent pool for new roles. 
Our Talent Acquisition team also has taken a more creative approach 
to promoting job postings online, both by launching a new career

page on JBT’s website and by posting videos and diversity, equity, 
inclusion, and belonging (DEIB)-focused content on professional 
platforms. The team plans to further refine its recruitment processes 
in 2023, with a focus on women, U.S. minorities, and veterans.
Promoting Growth and Development
From leadership workshops to role-specific trainings, we provide 
opportunities for growth at every level. In 2022, several of JBT’s 
businesses established online learning platforms to provide employees 
with on-demand classes and tools, as well as individualized development. 
Our human resources function was offered access to choose from 
multiple 2-week, graduate-level courses through eCornell to educate 
them on specific topics aligned to the JBT human resources career 
path. Overall, we are focused on placing a greater emphasis on 
onboarding, development and training to engage and retain 
generationally diverse talent.
Providing Competitive Compensation 
and Benefits
We strive to support our employees and their families with resources 
for physical, emotional, social, and financial health. In 2022, we 
moved our employees to a new insurance provider for medical 
and prescription drug coverage. This enabled us to expand our 
coverage to more regions and support members with innovative 
health and wellness programs and digital care management tools. 
We also updated some of our retirement plans to bring participants 
closer to retirement readiness and enhanced our web-enabled JBT 
Corporation Matching Gift Plan in the U.S.

Cultivating a Culture of Diversity, Equity, 
Inclusion, and Belonging
In addition to being a moral imperative, the case for companies to prioritize 
workplace diversity is clear. Diverse teams are better positioned to drive innovation, 
practice sound decision making, and boost financial performance.16
A critical underlying factor, however, often goes overlooked: Beyond creating an equitable and inclusive culture, it’s a sense 
of belonging that makes employees feel connected, comfortable, and empowered to contribute toward common goals. 
For these reasons, in 2022, we evolved our DEI strategy to focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB).17 
Throughout the year, our Global DEIB Council advanced this strategy through initiatives including the following:
•	 Launching our first two Employee Network Communities (ENCs) and creating an ENC governance structure
•	 Developing a listening session toolkit for business units
•	 Considering expansion of the Inclusive Leadership Series to include DEIB training for all employees
•	 Expanding and updating the DEIB intranet site and developing and managing a DEIB calendar to foster awareness
•	 Continuing to increase female and minority representation in leadership through acquisitions and inclusive hiring and 
promoting practices
Leading the Way for Progress with 
CEO Action
Business leaders have an opportunity—and a 
responsibility—to help accelerate meaningful change 
and build a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable 
workforce at an unprecedented scale. In 2023, our 
President and CEO, Brian Deck, signed the CEO 
Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge on JBT’s behalf. 
Signatories commit to:
•	 Cultivating environments that support open dialogue 
on complex—and often difficult—conversations around 
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI).
•	 Implementing and expanding unconscious bias 
education and training.
•	 Sharing best-known DEI programs/initiatives—as well 
as those that have been unsuccessful.
•	 Engaging boards of directors when developing and 
evaluating DEI strategies.

Prioritizing Health and Safety
Across our operations, we are committed to keeping our employees and communities safe. We hold 
ourselves to the highest standards of responsible operations and comply with health, safety, and 
environmental (HSE) laws and regulations to protect public health. We leverage our global HSE 
online management system to promote safety, reduce risk, and actively monitor industry leading best 
practices. The system is the foundation of our HSE risk management plan, which focuses on planning, 
implementation, checking/monitoring, and management review.
Pursuing Target Zero
Through our Target Zero goal, we strive to achieve zero incidents worldwide. Our Near Miss reporting 
program supports this goal by enabling employees to proactively identify and report unsafe conditions or 
behaviors before they result in an injury. In 2022, we set a goal for all employees to report at least two near 
misses and finished the year at 3.0. We also introduced behavioral-based observations (BBOs) to identify 
at-risk behaviors and provide direct employee feedback to intervene. Our goal is for each location to obtain 
up to five observations per employee, and we averaged over 5.3 observations per employee in 2022.
Auditing and Engaging Sites in HSE
JBT uses a comprehensive internal audit program to review HSE programs and processes and objectively 
evaluate performance across all sites. We audit each site at least once every three years and, in 2022, 
we resumed cross-functional, in-person HSE audits, which we plan to increase to pre-pandemic levels 
moving into 2023. Looking ahead, we will focus on preventing hand injuries, which represented 46% of 
employees’ body part injuries in 2022. We plan to conduct organization-wide risk assessments, implement 
visual cues, and require at-risk employees to wear gloves. Our program will also focus on identifying and 
reducing potentially serious incident fatality risks.
In 2022, our Belgium-

Amplifying Employee Efforts through Our 
Corporate Giving Program
We love to see our employees engage local communities by giving 
back, and we leverage our resources as a company to do the same. 
In late 2022, we started work on enhancing our corporate giving 
program that will be formalized in 2023. The program will align with 
the UN SDGs, support our DEIB initiatives—including our ENCs—
and focus on addressing food insecurity, underserved communities, 
and other issues that matter to our employees most.
The JBT Corporation Matching Gift Plan supports U.S. nonprofit 
organizations through employee contributions, company contributions, 
and employee volunteer hours. We provide a one-to-one corporate 
match—up to $5,000 per employee annually for eligible organizations 
that align with our business objectives. Employees can also request 
that a $10 grant be paid to eligible organizations for each volunteer 
hour, up to $1,000 per employee per year. We now manage our U.S. 
Matching Gift and Volunteering programs through Fidelity online, 
making it easier for employees to donate their resources and time. 
We hope to expand the program to our global operations in the future. 
Hosting Half Days of Service
JBT hosted two half days of service for our corporate office staff 
in 2022, with a focus on building awareness and community 
engagement. For the first day, which coincided with Juneteenth, we 
invited representatives from Unity Parenting and Counseling to visit 
our team and speak about how their organization supports struggling 
families and at-risk youth. 
During our second event, held on Veterans Day, we invited the Illinois 
Department of Veterans Affairs to give our team a glimpse into the 
realities, struggles, and experiences of a returning veteran. In 2023, 
our Talent Acquisition team plans to implement a military hiring 
program that will provide veterans with career opportunities—both 
now and in the future.
VIBRANT WORKPLACE
In December 2022, we launched our 
first official giving campaign—raising 
more than $23,000 to help Feed the 
Children realize their vision of a world 
where no child goes to bed hungry. This 
far exceeded our goal of $10,000 and is 
just the start of broader efforts planned 
for 2023. The campaign was aligned with 
SDG 2, which promotes zero hunger.
SPARKing Hope for Big Brothers 
Big Sisters 
In the community of Madera, Big Brothers Big Sisters of 
Central California (BBBSCC) has been a community asset 
for over 50 years, with a mission to create and support 
one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power 
and promise of youth. For the past 15 years, they’ve done 
so with JBT’s support—a partnership that started when the 
local site donated an office space adjacent to its facility.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, JBT and BBBSCC have 
hosted several on-site drive-thru events to celebrate 
Halloween, back-to-school backpack distribution and, most 
recently, Read Across America. The holidays, especially, 
are a time many BBBSCC families look forward to all year, 
with JBT’s SPARK Committee sponsoring toys, activities, 
and refreshments for the organization’s Holiday Party. 
Another highlight was the committee’s support of 
BBBSCC’s recent Ride for Kids event, an outdoor rodeo 
featuring 15 of the world’s top bronco riders. These JBT 
employees have been instrumental in helping BBBSCC 
uplift local youth, and for that, they earned JBT’s inaugural 
JBT Community Award.

Governance
Disclose the organization’s 
governance around 
climate-related risks and 
opportunities.
a) Describe the board’s 
oversight of climate-related 
risks and opportunities.
JBT’s Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors has oversight over 
management’s processes to identify, assess, manage, and disclose climate-related risks and 
opportunities. The committee meets quarterly, and our executive vice president, general counsel, and 
secretary along with our executive vice president, customer sustainability and market development 
report on the progress of our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) program including the 
management of key issues identified by our materiality assessment, which included climate strategy.
Climate-related risks and opportunities are a significant factor in management’s assessment of the 
the long-term viability of our current product offerings and in the research and development of new 
technologies and services to meet our customers’ sustainability objectives. Climate change is not 
currently built into our formal Enterprise Risk Management process, but we plan to incorporate it 
in the future.
b) Describe management’s role 
in assessing and managing 
climate-related risks and 
opportunities.
Strategy
Disclose the actual and 
potential impacts of climate-
related risks and opportunities 
on the organization’s 
businesses, strategy and 
financial planning.
a) Describe the climate-related 
risks and opportunities the 
organization has identified 
over the short, medium, and 
long term.
JBT anticipates that climate risks may negatively affect its customers and their food production. 
Customers will need equipment to help them meet changing regulatory and other requirements and 
will look to JBT to provide solutions. As a result, we have identified several climate opportunities: 
product solutions focused on sustainable food & production, energy management & emissions, and 
food, packaging & machinery waste.  We have integrated strategies into our operations to advance 
these opportunities. 
Sustainable Food & Production:
 Engineering solutions for plant-based protein & dairy alternatives
 Developing cell-based protein technology
Food, Packaging & Machinery Waste:
 Reducing food process losses
 Optimizing food production portions
 Prolonging food shelf life
 Increasing packaging circularity
 Reducing single-use plastics
 Extending the lifespan of equipment and consumables
 Rebuilding, updating, and recycling used equipment and materials
Energy Management & Emissions:
 Enhancing equipment efficiency and increasing run times
 Conserving water and energy in operational use
 Offering energy-efficient freezing solutions
 Creating energy-flexible equipment that can be powered as needed 
b) Describe the impact 
of climate-related risks 
and opportunities on the 
organization’s businesses, 
strategy, and financial 
planning.
JBT has not performed a full enterprise climate-related scenario analysis, but plans to do so in the 
future. Disaster recovery plans have been developed and, in some cases, utilized for North American 
production facilities likely to be impacted by hurricanes and other extreme weather events. 
c) Describe the resilience of 
the organization’s strategy, 
taking into consideration 
different climate-related 
scenarios, including a 2°C 
or lower scenario.

Risk Management
Disclose how the organization 
identifies, assesses and 
manages climate-related 
risks.
a) Describe the organization’s 
processes for identifying and 
assessing climate-related 
risks.
Potential climate-related risks and opportunities were identified through a robust due diligence 
process, which involved:
 Conducting a preliminary assessment of risks by reviewing our current Enterprise Risk 
Management Process to identify any elements related to climate change
 Consulting with leaders from our Internal Audit, Risk & Insurance and Health, Safety & 
Environment functions
 Holding discussions with leaders from our three main business units, FoodTech (Protein and 
Diversified Food & Health) and our AeroTech business
 Examining risks already identified during strategy review sessions
 Benchmarking findings with key climate risks identified by peers and customers
b) Describe the organization’s 
processes for managing 
climate- related risks.
The management of climate-related risks is not currently built into our formal Enterprise Risk 
Management process, but we plan to incorporate it in the future. 
c) Describe how processes for 
identifying, assessing and 
managing climate-related 
risks are integrated into the 
organization’s overall risk 
management.
Metrics and Targets
Disclose the metrics and 
targets used to assess and 
manage relevant climate-
related risks and opportunities.
a) Disclose the metrics used by 
the organization to assess 
climate-related risks and 
opportunities in line with 
its strategy and risk 
management process.
In addition to measuring our own climate impact, we also offer a suite of products that reduce 
the operational environmental impact of our customers, enabling our customers to meet their 
environmental targets. Approximately 71% of our revenue in 2022 was from products and services 
with beneficial environmental impact. While we aren’t reporting metrics for equipment that 
optimizes energy use, these products are of the utmost importance to JBT. These considerations 
are part of our value proposition and always included in ongoing design processes, and, therefore, 
they are difficult to track separately.
ESG Report > Sustainable Operations

b) Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2, 
and, if appropriate, Scope 3 
greenhouse gas (GHG) 
emissions, and the 
related risks.
c) Describe the targets used 
by the organization to 
manage climate-related 
risks and opportunities and 
performance against targets.
At this time, JBT does not have any external targets to disclose.
