PRESS RELEASE: Available for immediate release
Newcastle Upon Tyne, 1st April, 2026. IoSCM is proud to announce the official launch of IoSCM International, a significant milestone in the continued growth and global development of the Institute. This expansion represents a new chapter for IoSCM as we strengthen our commitment to supporting supply chain professionals across the world.
Meeting the global demand for internationally recognised qualifications in supply chain
As supply chains become increasingly interconnected, the demand for internationally recognised standards, qualifications, and professional development has never been greater. Organisations are operating in an environment shaped by rapid technological change, evolving customer expectations, sustainability pressures, and ongoing global disruption. In response to these challenges, IoSCM International has been established to provide a global platform for education, professional recognition, and industry collaboration.
“IoSCM International will further extend our reach beyond the United Kingdom, enabling professionals, learners, and partners worldwide to access high-quality programmes designed to build capability and enhance performance across the supply chain sector. Through this initiative, we will continue to promote excellence in supply chain management and support the next generation of global leaders in logistics and operations” – Megan Slater, Sales and Business Development Director
The launch of IoSCM International reflects our vision of creating a truly connected professional community. By working with international representatives, academic partners, and industry stakeholders, IoSCM International will strengthen engagement in key regions and ensure its qualifications and services remain relevant to the needs of global markets. This collaborative approach will also support the sharing of best practices, innovation, and continuous improvement across diverse supply chain environments.
“A central focus of IoSCM International is the development of skills and knowledge in an industry that continues to evolve at pace. With increasing emphasis on digital transformation, resilience planning, ethical sourcing, and sustainability, supply chain professionals require access to learning opportunities that prepare them for future challenges. IoSCM International will provide structured pathways for career development, helping individuals and organisations build the expertise needed to succeed in complex global networks.” – Kimberley Jayne, Operations Director.
This launch also reinforces IoSCM’s dedication to professional standards and recognition. As supply chain management becomes more strategic to business success, the importance of accredited qualifications and professional membership continues to grow. IoSCM International will ensure that professionals across borders can gain recognition for their competence and commitment to excellence.
