Event Details

Dear Sir / Madam,


On behalf of the Joint Alliance for CSR (JAC)​ and its 29 member companies, we are pleased to invite you to the 11th JAC Forum which will take place on 11 and 12 June 2025 at the Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers.

 

In the spirit of "co-operation beyond competition" and with your valued contribution, JAC has been making continuous efforts and progress towards improving the sustainability of its members, suppliers and the ICT industry.


In 2025, the Forum will look at one of the biggest sustainability challenges currently facing the industry โ€“ the need to implement due diligence approaches which prevent and address sustainability risks in global ICT supply chains.


We will investigate how the focus is being driven by new regulatory and disclosure requirements and the new opportunities this presents with regards to, for example, climate change, energy decarbonisation, health and safety and working conditions.


In addition, JAC will celebrate outstanding supplier achievements across two awards programmes:

  • suppliers that can demonstrate the highest leadership commitment, innovation and achievement of tangible results in delivering excellence on sustainability, and
  • suppliers across different supply chain tiers that have actively and successfully participated in the 2024 JAC audit campaign.

The event will bring together key international stakeholders such as leading telecom operators, ICT sector suppliers, CSR institutions, Government representatives, NGOs and researchers.

Jun 11 & 12, 2025 GMT+8
