Progressing TAPA’s supply chain Security Standards in EMEA

TAPA’s Facility (FSR), Trucking (TSR) and Parking (PSR) Security Standards are used by companies in over 70 countries in the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region as a core part of their supply chain resilience programmes.

In 2023, TAPA launched new revisions of all 3 Standards, and, in EMEA, this has been supported with English, French, German, ItaIian, Spanish, and Turkish translations, multi- lingual training materials using Avatars, as well as the launch of a new EC Safe & Secure Truck Parking Areas (SSTPAs) training course and TAPA Standards’ training webinars. Next up, the EMEA region is preparing for the launch of the TAPA Cyber Security Standard later this year. This presentation looks at all these developments.
