JOSCAR Sustainability Analysis launches in Australia

We are pleased to announce the launch of Sustainability Analysis within the JOSCAR-AU community - marking a major step forward in simplifying and standardising ESG reporting across the defence, aerospace, and security sectors. 

Already proven across the UK and Ireland, Sustainability Analysis provides clear, comparable ESG metrics using our existing JOSCAR-AU supplier questionnaire.

The feature helps organisations demonstrate measurable sustainability progress and meet increasing regulatory and customer expectations around responsible sourcing. 

Supporting Australia’s evolving sustainability landscape 

Across Australia, there is growing momentum for organisations to align with global sustainability frameworks and meet government-led ESG reporting expectations. Sustainability Analysis helps JOSCAR-AU members respond to this demand with a unified, data-driven approach. 

The feature enables suppliers to: 

• Report sustainability performance quickly and consistently. 

• Benchmark progress against recognised ESG standards. 

• Demonstrate measurable carbon, social, and governance outcomes to key defence buyers. 

Buyers benefit from a transparent view of ESG performance across their supplier base, strengthening risk management, compliance, and corporate responsibility reporting. 

A proven model for responsible supply chains 

Sustainability Analysis is already delivering strong results in the UK, where leading defence and financial companies use the feature to enhance ESG oversight and engagement with suppliers. 

• 88% of suppliers have adopted modern slavery guidelines within organisational policies. 

• 61% of JOSCAR suppliers conduct regular assessments against criteria that include modern slavery. 

• Nearly one in three reports on Scope 3 carbon emissions, supporting shared progress toward net-zero targets. 

These insights demonstrate the power of a common platform to drive improvement across complex supply chains - a model now being extended to the Australian market.
