A day to recognize all who serve in the supply chain
[ October 29, 2024 // Chris Lewis ]The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) has launched an annual, global day to recognise the vital contributions of the supply chain, logistics and transport industry in keeping the world connected.
The International Day of Supply Chain, Logistics and Transportation will take place on Sunday 3 November and marks 105 years to the day since the establishment of the professional body for everyone who works in the industry.
This year’s inaugural event, entitled ‘The World In Motion’ will comprise events, launch initiatives and activity by CILT and other member organisations across the world.
CILT will also be launching an International Education Standards Committee (IESC) to maintain and develop CILT’s professional status and qualifications across the Institute.
CILT was formed on 3 November 1919 by group of senior professionals who, after witnessing the failures of moving goods and vehicles in the First World War, were determined to change the world of logistics and transport. They created a professional body that would promote, encourage and co-ordinate the study of the science and art of logistics and transport in all aspects.
