Developed by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) UK's Board of Trustees in partnership with stakeholders.
CILT's vision is to recognise and celebrate the quality, expertise and value of the transport, logistics, and supply chain profession.
The strategy underlines the institute's charitable objectives, goals, and methods of delivery on how to strengthen the future capability of the sector. A core emphasis is placed on collaborating to build strong, beneficial relationships while shaping and delivering professional development products and services.
Logistics UK's Head of Cities and Infrastructure, Jonathan Walker commented: "We welcome CILT’s commitment to raising the profile and standards of those working in our vital logistics sector.”
The institute also aims to share insights to amplify its impact across the sector. Embedded within the strategy is CILT UK's transformational plan, highlighting the short, medium and long-term initiatives the institute expects to deliver over the coming years.
It outlines how CILT(UK) will drive educational excellence, best practices and continuing professional development to upskill the current and next generation of supply chain, transport and logistics professionals.
Other priorities include fostering greater collaboration with industry, government and educational bodies in order to nurture talent and boost the profession's influence.
