OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
There is no doubt that sustainability is essential for the future of earth and society. We, at Jakamo, are committed to consider and prioritize sustainability in our strategy and all our operations and decision-making to make the world a better place for nature and people.
CUSTOMERS & ECOSYSTEM
Our biggest sustainability impact comes absolutely from the sustainability development of our customers. Manufacturing companies’ sustainability is highly dependent on their supply chain’s sustainability and a significant share of their environmental and social impact is coming from the supply chain.
We are committed to supporting our customers in their supply chain sustainability transformation. Jakamo – the Supplier Experience platform – enables holistic supply chain sustainability of the manufacturing companies by providing concrete use cases, visibility, and manageability for suppliers’ compliance, development & innovation initiatives, and operative supply chain processes in terms of sustainability.
By combining two global megatrends – sustainability and digitalization – in a practical way and working together with our customers, we can have a huge impact on the sustainability of the whole global manufacturing ecosystem. Read more!
Our promise: We are maximizing our handprint to minimize the sustainability footprint of the manufacturing industry. We grow our customer base and supplier ecosystem and develop our offering with a strategic focus on sustainability to create a significant impact on our customers’ supply chain carbon footprint reduction and other sustainability goals.
SOCIETY
We are very much aware of how much good we have gotten from society. Therefore, we are eager to give back as well. Our concrete commitments are:
Education & research: We are continuously contributing the science and education by providing thesis and internship positions for the students, sharing our knowledge continuously through guest lectures, and participating actively in university research projects.
No aggressive tax planning: We are happy to pay taxes and we are committed not to apply aggressive tax planning.

Our promise: We are leading experts in supply chain sustainability within the manufacturing industry and share our knowledge through continuous interaction between industry and academia.

We respect everyone’s viewpoints and ideas and we want to give our employees the right mix of autonomy, learning, responsibilities, and support to succeed in their career and enjoying life. We offer a possibility to modern hybrid working model to enable employees to blend working from different locations: any of our office, home, summer house, or you name it.
We are celebrating diversity! We are not there yet, but we are highly committed to building an organization that represents a variety of different backgrounds, skills, and perspectives.
