Joint Alliance for CSR (JAC)

The JAC is an association of telecom operators that aims to verify, assess and develop sustainability implementation across multinational suppliers' manufacturing centers involved in the ICT industry.

Members collaborate on engaging trading partners' networks to promote transparency and demonstrate that the industry can set aside differences to improve sustainability, including in supply chains. Its approach includes documentary due diligence, on-site audits, corrective action plans and improvement road maps with common direct suppliers (Tier 1) and beyond (Tier 2 and 3…).

Why choose JAC audits from SGS?
