The UK Steel Charter builds on existing government policy aimed at supporting the steel industry through a more strategic approach to public procurement. The UK Steel Charter provides organisations with a range of simple, practical steps they can take to open up their procurement approach, increase opportunities for UK steel producers, and manufacturing supply chains, and maximise the economic and social value of their projects.
