Napolitano presents ‘National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security’ Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has presented the US National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “The Department of Homeland Security is committed to facilitating legitimate trade and travel, while preventing terrorists from exploiting supply chains, protecting transportation systems from attacks and disruptions, and increasing the resilience of global supply chains,” said Secretary Napolitano. “We must continue to strengthen global supply chains to ensure that they operate effectively in time of crisis; recover quickly from disruptions; and facilitate international trade and travel. As a part of this effort, we look forward to working closely with our international partners in the public and private sector to build a more resilient global supply chain.” The National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security outlines clear goals to promote the efficient and secure movement of goods and foster a resilient supply chain system. It also provides guidance for the US government and critical domestic, international, public and private stakeholders who share a common interest in the security and resiliency of the global supply chain. Concurrently with the presentation in Davos, the White House announced the publication of the National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security. The DHS and the Department of State will now lead a six month engagement period with the international community and industry stakeholders to solicit feedback and specific recommendations on how to implement the Strategy in a cost effective and collaborative manner..
