Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has signed an Armed Forces Covenant, pledging commitment to advocate for recruitment and retention of ex-military personnel across automotive industry. SMMT commits to promoting best practice, fostering a culture and ethos of inclusivity, and making the commercial case for automotive companies to sign up to the Covenant.
This reaffirms the work done through Mission Automotive, an initiative dedicated to placing veterans in jobs across the sector, set up in partnership with the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the forces’ charity Mission Motorsport, and supported by the Ministry of Defence.
SMMT has helped members tailor engagement programs, guiding and aligning interactions with the Armed Forces community across brand, corporate and HR to support their own business strategies. Over 50 SMMT member companies already work with the armed forces community, employing veterans, service leavers and their spouses across all parts of the automotive supply chain, from cars to commercial vehicles, across design, manufacturing, repair and through to retail and logistics.
