DBT launches Critical imports and supply chain strategy and delivers keynote speech at Logistics UK event
Friday 14 June 2024
Logistics UK is pleased that the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has published a Critical imports and supply chains strategy, which outlines actions across five priority areas to build resilient supply chains and safeguard critical imports:
- Making the UK government a centre of excellence for supply chain analysis and risk assessment.
- Removing critical import barriers to support the UK’s business-friendly environment.
- Building the UK’s response to global supply chain shocks.
- Ensuring the UK can adapt to long-term trends.
- Expanding collaboration between government, business and academia.
Logistics UK attended all of the roundtables set up by government which fed into the development of the strategy and participated in its launch, and former Minister for Industry and Economic Security Nusrat Ghani MP highlighted the strategy in her keynote speech at Logistics UK’s Supply Chain Resilience event.
Logistics UK has since been confirmed as a founder member of the Critical Imports Council, which brings together 23 representatives from business and academia to take forward the strategy actions.
