To help members address complex strategic issues in a continuous and actionable way as an industry community, a limited number of work streams are defined.

Global Enabling Trade Programme: An annual index and report, serving as a concrete tool for a series of high-level industry-ministerial workshops, focused on practical steps to boost trade.“Global Trade is one of the most important tools we have to lift us out of the economic crisis. This (work) can be very helpful for governments and regulators to identify bottlenecks in the global supply chain and analyze how those can best be addressed. Of course some measures require enormous investments and take a long time before they are completed, like the improvement of infrastructure. Other initiatives like removing "red tape" and simplifying customs procedures can be accomplished relatively easily.”, said Scott Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer UPS.

Supply Chain Decarbonization: A ground-breaking quantitative study of holistic supply chain decarbonization opportunities and the steps to capture them.  "The report clearly shows that there is substantial carbon abatement potential in the supply chain. This has to be leveraged by different actors. The L&T industry can do a lot in their own business, but can achieve even more in partnership with their customers.", said Winfried Haeser, Vice President Environmental Strategy and Policy at Deutsche Post DHL.

Anti-Corruption Working Group & Pilot: A challenging best-practice workout for integrity and legal teams leading to an action-oriented pilot implementation in a national customs environment.

Logistics Emergency Teams: Emergency deployment of Logistics assets and resources in support of the United Nations logistics cluster in response to natural disasters. Recent deployments in the Philippines, Indonesia, Haiti & Myanmar.
