全文开始：
流行病疫情、战争和冲突、极端气候影响以及自然灾害所引发的对全球供应链的冲击凸显了进一步增强供应链、努力减少并制止短期中断，以及建设长期复原力的迫切需要。这是一个我们准备坚决地、共同地予以应对的全球性挑战。
澳大利亚、巴西、加拿大、刚果民主共和国、欧盟、法国、德国、印度、印度尼西亚、意大利、日本、墨西哥、荷兰、大韩民国、新加坡、西班牙、英国和美国（以下称“参与方”）在参与2022年供应链部长级论坛之后，准备共同努力应对危机，力争缓解短期的运输、物流和供应链的中断及瓶颈问题，以及导致我们的供应链脆弱，并给消费者、大大小小的商企、劳动者和家庭造成连带影响的长期复原力方面的挑战。为确保这项努力发挥效力并达及那些需求最迫切的人，我们计划同商企、劳动者、学术界、劳工和公民社会合作展开这项工作，其中包括妇女以及来自地方和其他社区的代表，与参与方的国内法律和国际义务，以及不同的政府层级保持一致。
基于国际伙伴关系建设集体的、具有长期复原力的供应链对于这项努力的成功至关重要。为了实现这个目标，我们力争遵循这些全球供应链原则：
透明度：我们计划提倡透明度，同私营部门、公民社会、不同的政府层级和其他有关的利益相关方磋商，以符合参与方的国内法律和国际义务的方式，来增强供应链的复原力。与参与方的国内法律和国际义务相符的公民社会磋商是透明度的一个重要部分。我们计划就潜在的、新出现的以及系统性的供应挑战推动信息分享，并尽可能地推动共同方针和早期预警系统。我们计划以符合参与方的国内法律和国际义务的方式进行这种合作，并极其审慎地保护非公开信息，其中包括保护至关重要的安全利益所必需的信息。
多元化：我们致力于促进多元化，并提高全球能力，使重点行业在材料与输入、半成品和成品方面具有多重、可靠和可持续的来源，同时具备物流基础设施能力，提高供应链的韧性，使我们的经济体较不易受到干扰和冲击。我们准备探索机会，促进对重点行业供应链的公共和私人投资，并鼓励建立合作关系和联合投资，以建立和发展对环境和社会负责任的材料和输入来源渠道。
我们致力于促进中小企业对重点供应链的参与。我们致力于促进微型、小型和中型规模公司对数字技术的使用。为推进公平和包容原则，我们致力于并力争确保在我们所有经济体内，以符合参与方的国内法律和国际义务的方式，使投资深入到范围广大的社区。
可预见性对健强的供应链十分重要，我们将致力于共同努力，在我们的经济关系中提倡可预见性、开放性、公平性和非歧视性，它们均对我们的供应链产生影响。我们将致力于强化和培养基于规则的长期经济合作关系和供应链关系。
安全：为促进供应链的安全，我们要深化我们的磋商，以识别和解决与供应依赖性有关的风险和关键基础设施中潜在的薄弱环节。我们要共同努力解决我们共同的薄弱环节，并为加强供应链的安全而消除腐败。我们鼓励参与方按照国内法律，与业界、劳工和公民社会以及其他有关的利益相关方建立合作关系，从而更好地理解和管理供应链面临的安全风险。
可持续性：我们要在全球所有供应链中鼓励可持续性和负责任的商业行为以及在我们加入的相关多边环境协议中所设立的目标，包括《联合国气候变化框架公约》（United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change）和《巴黎协议》（Paris Agreement）。我们鼓励采用负责任的商业做法，并且认识到，基于我们各国批准的国际劳工公约，在整个价值链中履行我们各自的义务所具有的重要性，以便确保在启动新来源或供应链其他选择时，不对维护人权的现行承诺打折扣。这包括我们准备一道合作，在全球供应链中取缔使用强迫劳动。我们致力于促进增加使用再生材料和产品元件。我们也致力于按照参与方国内的法律和国际义务，促进和支持以公平和可持续的方式从事产品生产和贸易，包括通过循环经济、生物经济以及其他形式，从而促进对抗气候变化、生物多样性损失和污染，并推动联合国的可持续发展目标（UN Sustainable Development Goals）。  
我们欢迎所有经济体并邀请所有行业、商企、妇女、劳动者、各级政府官员和劳工与公民社会负责人以及其他利益相关方来与我们一道，在这些原则的指引下，发展健强的供应链。我们认识到解决全球供应链下一次危机的关键是要首先防止危机的发生。

MEDIA NOTE
OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON
JULY 20, 2022
The text of the following statement was released by the Governments of the United States of America and the 17 partner economies on the occasion of the Supply Chain Ministerial Forum.
Begin text:
The shocks to global supply chains from pandemics, wars and conflicts, extreme climate impacts, and natural disasters have put in stark relief the urgent need to further strengthen supply chains, to work to reduce and end near-term disruptions, and to build long-term resilience.  This is a global challenge we intend to approach resolutely and cooperatively.
Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the European Union, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States (hereinafter the “Participants”), following engagement at the 2022 Supply Chain Ministerial Forum, intend to work together on crisis response in an effort to alleviate near-term transportation, logistics, and supply chain disruptions and bottlenecks as well as the long-term resilience challenges that make our supply chains vulnerable and cause spillover effects for consumers, large and small businesses, workers, and families.  To ensure this effort is effective and reaches those most in need, we intend to engage on this work with businesses, workers, academia, labor and civil society, including women, representatives from local and other communities, consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations, and different levels of government.
Building collective, long-term resilient supply chains based on international partnerships is critical to the success of this effort.  To achieve this, we aim to follow these global supply chain principles:
Transparency:  We intend to promote transparency in consultation with the private sector, civil society, different levels of government, and other relevant stakeholders, consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations, in order to strengthen the resilience of supply chains.  Civil society consultations, consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations, are an important part of transparency.  We intend to advance information sharing, and to the extent possible common approaches and early warning systems, about potential, emerging, and systematic supply challenges.  We intend to undertake this cooperation consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations and with utmost care to protect non-public information, including information necessary for the protection of essential security interests.
Diversification:  We aim to promote diversification and increase global capacities for multiple, reliable, and sustainable sources of materials and inputs, intermediate goods, and finished goods in priority sectors, along with logistics infrastructure capacities, increasing resilience of supply chains to make our economies less vulnerable to disruptions and shocks.  We intend to explore opportunities to promote public and private investment into supply chains in priority sectors and to encourage partnerships and co-investment for access to and development of environmentally and socially responsibly sourced materials and inputs.
We aim to promote the involvement of small and medium sized businesses in priority supply chains.  We aim to promote the adoption of digital technologies by micro-, small, and medium sized companies. To advance the principles of equity and inclusion, we aim and strive to ensure investments are made into a broad range of communities, consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations, throughout our economies.
Predictability is important to resilient supply chains, and we will aim to work together to promote predictability, openness, fairness, and nondiscrimination in our economic relations as they impact our supply chains.  We will aim to reinforce and foster our longstanding, rules-based economic partnerships and supply chain relationships.
Security:  To promote supply chain security, we intend to deepen our consultations to identify and address risks arising from supply dependencies and potential vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.  We intend to work together to address our mutual vulnerabilities and work to eliminate corruption in support of supply chain security.  We encourage Participants to undertake this cooperation in partnership with industry, labor and civil society, and other relevant stakeholders, pursuant to domestic laws, to better understand and manage security risks to supply chains.
Sustainability:  We intend to encourage global sustainability and responsible business conduct across supply chains, as well as objectives set out in relevant multilateral environmental agreements to which we are parties, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement.  We encourage the adoption of responsible business practices and recognize the importance of implementing our respective obligations under international labor conventions ratified by respective countries along the entire value chain to ensure that opening up new sourcing or supply chain options does not shortcut existing commitments to uphold human rights.  This includes our intent to cooperate to eradicate the use of forced labor in global supply chains.  We aim to foster the increased use of recycled materials and product components.  We also aim to foster and support the fair and sustainable manufacturing and trade of products, consistent with Participants’ domestic laws and international obligations, including through circular economy, the bioeconomy, and other approaches, that advance the fight against climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and which advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We welcome all economies and invite all industries, businesses, women, workers, officials from different levels of government, labor and civil society, and other stakeholders to join us in pursuit of resilient supply chains, guided by these principles.  We acknowledge the key to resolving the next global supply chain crisis is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
