Valid’s progress has also been supported by its ongoing engagement with customers and industry stakeholders on responsible supply chain and sustainability initiatives.

As part of this journey, Valid has worked closely with Telefónica on responsible supply chain initiatives, including its participation and continued improvement within the JAC Supplier Engagement Programme. This engagement has helped reinforce the importance of measurement, transparency and continuous improvement as Valid advances its sustainability strategy.

“This recognition is an important milestone in our sustainability journey and, above all, an acknowledgement of the measurable progress our teams have made in recent years. Sustainability across the ICT supply chain requires collaboration, transparency and continuous improvement, and our engagement with customers such as Telefónica and industry initiatives such as JAC has been an important part of that journey. We are proud of the progress recognized today and remain committed to continuing to raise the bar.” Alfonso Crespo, VP of Global Operations, Valid

The recognition will be formally presented at the JAC Supplier Forum in Zurich on October 15, 2026, bringing together JAC members and supplier partners to exchange perspectives on the future of responsible and sustainable ICT supply chains.

Through the recognition, JAC acknowledges Valid’s commitment and action in supporting the decarbonization of the ICT supply chain and advancing efforts to tackle climate change, consistent with the wording provided in JAC’s official supplier communications package.

Valid will continue working across its operations, supply chain and customer ecosystem to advance its sustainability practices and contribute to broader industry efforts toward a more responsible ICT value chain.

The JAC Supplier Engagement Programme is a collaborative programme focused on assessing and improving the maturity of the ICT supply chain in managing greenhouse gas emissions. Suppliers are evaluated through the JAC SEP Maturity Model across Strategy, Measurement, Reporting and Verification, Emissions Reduction, and Communication and Engagement.
