Hellios and JOSCAR take centre stage at DPRTE 2026

A standout presence across the programme, Didde, Head of JOSCAR UK, was invited to speak on two panel sessions, where she shared expert insight on supplier assurance, risk management, and the increasing demands on Defence supply chains.

Emphasising the importance of collecting high-quality, primary supplier data, she highlighted how this enables Buyers to make faster, more confident decisions with greater visibility.

Didde also stressed that resilience cannot rely solely on MOD flow-down requirements, encouraging suppliers to focus on building robust internal processes to strengthen their own long-term resilience.

Further reinforcing JOSCAR’s thought leadership, Alex Harvey, Business Development Manager, delivered a dedicated session exploring how Defence organisations can move beyond carbon reporting to drive meaningful decarbonisation.

Highlighting that resilience and climate risk are now fundamentally linked, the session reframed sustainability as a core business risk - particularly in Defence, where the majority of emissions sit within Scope 3.

The talk focused on turning ambition into action, with practical steps for improving data quality, engaging supply chains, and enabling more informed, operational decision-making.

DPRTE remains a key platform for industry collaboration, and we are proud to be at the heart of these discussion, supporting the Defence community in tackling complex challenges and driving forward real change.
