May 2025: Singtel has joined the Joint Alliance for CSR (JAC) to promote collaboration and sustainability in the global ICT supply chain.
The Joint Alliance for CSR has the pleasure to announce Singtel as new JAC member. JAC is a not-for-profit association of telecoms operators aiming to verify, assess and apply Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability practices across the products supplied and the manufacturing sites of its key suppliers.
As a member of JAC, Singtel will collaborate with the world’s largest telco providers, conducting and sharing CSR audit reports of major suppliers. With the aim of promoting sustainable sourcing, JAC members share audit data, resources and best practices to verify, assess and develop sustainable sourcing principles for suppliers of the telco sector.
Jorge Juan Munoz, Vice President of Singtel Group Procurement, said:
“We recently launched the Singtel Group Responsible Procurement Policy as part of our commitment in driving higher standards in environmental, social and ethical performance across our supply chain. Joining JAC is an important next step on this journey. By collaborating with like-minded global telecom operators, we can collectively raise supplier standards, mitigate ESG risks, and drive long-term value for our stakeholders. We believe that transparency, consistency and collaboration are key to creating resilient and responsible supply chains for the future.”
In 2024, JAC members carried out 150 audits and surveys, engaged 917 suppliers as part of the Supplier Engagement Programme with the goal of building carbon reduction capacity and capability and are working directly with 44 suppliers who have the greatest impact on members’ Scope 3 carbon footprints.
