The department’s commercial activities comply with current government policy on steel procurement as set out in Cabinet Office guidance, Procurement Policy Note 11/16.

The department is happy to commit to supporting the charter where this is relevant to our commercial activities and only where consistent with the relevant regulations.

The department is reviewing the charter and the steps within it, and will discuss with other departments as appropriate in due course.
