UK Trade For All Framework
Since 2018, SCC has been working with a broad coalition of organisations representing business, unions, consumers, academics and civil society to promote best in class trade governance and strategy to ensure trade works for everyone, across all corners of the UK.
This work encompasses two central frameworks; A Trade Model That Works For Everyone, Trade for All Framework. The former sets out the 4 core pillars of an inclusive trade governance model, the latter 9 key objectives we would like to see in a strategic framework for UK trade.
The framework has been born out of discussions about how to best enable all stakeholders to support the trade agenda and in response to the recent call for a comprehensive strategy by the APPG for Trade and Export Promotion at Westminster.
By setting clear objectives – such as making sure trade supports the recovery from COVID, tackles climate change, addresses regional inequalities, and promotes a race to the top on rights and standards – Scotland and the UK can lead the world on trade.
We have implored policymakers at Holyrood and Westminster to lend their help and support to adopt these objectives in a published trade framework to support Scottish and UK trade.
