The Statement of Purpose

Creating the conditions for business success; and helping the UK respond to the challenge of globalisation.

The Statement of Purpose builds on the Department’s Strategy and Five Year Programme; and emphasises, that as the Department responsible for trade, business, employees, consumers, science and energy, the Department is in a unique position to contribute to the wider challenge of globalisation - enabling business and employees to prosper in the UK.

Delivering outcomes will require ever closer working with others – reaching out to more stakeholders, and working with Whitehall Departments to raise awareness of the Government role in addressing globalisation.
