JOSCAR

Why JOSCAR Matters

JOSCAR is the leading platform for managing supplier data in Defence, Aerospace, and Security. It provides a trusted framework that allows buyers and suppliers to collaborate efficiently on due diligence, compliance, and ESG initiatives. By being part of this network, we align ourselves with industry best practices and demonstrate our dedication to quality, transparency, and continuous improvement.

What Our Membership Means

1. Streamlined Compliance:
Our JOSCAR registration ensures that all of our supplier information is verified and up-to-date. This reduces administrative work for both us and our clients, allowing projects to move forward faster and with greater confidence.

2. Collaborative Supplier Community:
Being part of JOSCAR connects us with a broad community of buyers and suppliers. This enables us to work alongside other organisations to share best practices, coordinate on compliance initiatives, and address common industry challenges more effectively.

3. ESG and Sustainability Reporting:
Sustainability is a key focus across the Defence, Aerospace, and Security sectors. Through JOSCAR, we provide transparent reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. Tools like JOSCAR Zero allow us to track our carbon footprint across Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, helping us plan and achieve net zero goals.

4. Assurance for Buyers:
Clients can trust that our processes meet rigorous industry standards. JOSCAR registration verifies that we follow best practices in data management, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance. This reduces barriers to engagement and strengthens confidence in our capabilities.

5. Dedicated Support and Expertise:
JOSCAR provides specialist support for suppliers, and as members, we benefit from guidance to ensure our data is complete, accurate, and aligned with the latest legislation. This ongoing support enables us to maintain high standards without adding unnecessary burden on our team.

Community Engagement

As part of the JOSCAR community, we participate in regular industry events and networking opportunities, including JOSCAR Live, the annual conference that brings together buyers and suppliers. These forums allow us to exchange insights, discuss emerging challenges, and collaborate on solutions that benefit the entire community.

Members also have input into the content of supplier questionnaires, ensuring that the data collected is relevant, up-to-date, and reflective of current industry requirements. This collaborative approach keeps everyone informed and responsive to changes in regulation and best practices.
