IoSCM work closely with the Armed Forces Community to provide friendly support and expert guidance

At the Institute of Supply Chain Management (IoSCM), it is our aim to support service personnel throughout their long and distinguished careers,  working together to focus on your professional development through training, accreditation and membership to a recognised awarding body.

With a Global Membership community of over 22,000 members and a corporate client list to be proud of, IoSCM are recognised as the provider of choice for accredited qualifications throughout the supply chain industry, with a global reputation as the leading representative body for professionals within the industry.

IoSCM are strong advocates of the Armed Forces Service Community and understand exactly what has been sacrificed by the spouses of serving soldiers and veterans. It is our aim to provide the service person, veteran, reservist and spouse equal opportunity to succeed through service and in the commercial sector.

IoSCM’s Achievement of Gold Employer Recognition Scheme

As signatories and active promoters of the Armed Forces Covenant we acknowledge and understand those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families. We also firmly believe that those who continue to serve (regular or reserve) and have previously, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.

As an organisation we are active members of The Gold Alumni Association (GAA), and work closely with the MoD to promote the Armed Forces Covenant, champion Armed Forces engagement with employers, share best practices and prove an informed and influential stakeholder sounding board for new initiatives.

We are delighted to have achieved the gold award as recognition of the amazing efforts of our team and the organisation to support the wider forces community. A core value of our business is to help others, and we do this in a multitude of ways, from fundraising, career development guidance, providing learning opportunities, and sharing our knowledge and expertise across a global network of civilian and military members, learners, clients and contacts. Now we have achieved the Gold Award we look forward to finding new ways to enhance the support available for the wider forces community, including encouraging other businesses to pledge their commitment.
