Welcome to Safeguarding Supply
Supply chain resilience guidance developed with your business in mind.
The pandemic, as well as changes in the global economy, geopolitical environment and climate have recently increased the frequency and magnitude of both demand and supply shocks to industry globally.
Industries, sectors and businesses need a strong understanding of their exposure, vulnerabilities and potential risks to their supply chains to build robust resilience strategies into their working practices.
The Department for International Trade has collaborated with the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) and the Chartered Institute for Procurement and Supply (CIPS) to produce some guiding principles that will help you to strengthen and build resilience into your supply chains.
