The metals sector is expected to publish its strategy in Spring 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We are supporting the metals sector, through the Metals Forum (an umbrella body bringing together the metals related trade associations) on the development of this strategy: this will bring metals into line with other important foundation sectors which have published strategies already. Foundation sectors are those such as metals, electronics and chemicals which underpin manufacturing.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The strategy will cover issues such as sustainability, supply chains, technology & innovation, skills and communication \u2013 which will all have an impact on the metals industry, including steel.<\/p>
