Unveiled to industry leaders, parliamentarians and government officials at the prestigious annual gathering, the partnership represents a shared commitment to supporting UK aluminium producers, processors and recyclers through the complexities of international trade. As the UK transitions into a new regulatory landscape, including the implementation of the UK’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and emerging Free Trade Agreements, ALFED and the Chartered Institute will work together to provide members with trusted insight, training, and policy access.
Nadine Bloxsome, CEO of ALFED, said:
“This partnership comes at exactly the right time for our members. As we look ahead to the practical implications of CBAM, growing digitalisation of trade procedures and the increasing scrutiny on emissions, it’s never been more important to ensure that UK aluminium businesses are confident, well-informed and globally competitive. We’re proud to be working with the Chartered Institute to provide expert support and shape the future of responsible UK trade.”
