CSG focuses on the supply chains that enable Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and essential services to function, and therefore underpin a country’s national security, resilience to shocks and sustainable economic growth.

Further, in line with UK government definitions, we view resilience as the ability to anticipate, assess, prevent, mitigate, respond to, and recover from natural hazards, deliberate attacks, geopolitical instability, disease outbreaks, and other disruptive events, civil emergencies or threats to our way of life.

The group is business-led, cross​-sector and multi-stakeholder. Through collaboration, it now has reach to 3,200+ companies in multiple countries, across 13 critical sectors.
