ALFED unveils two new programmes promoting Net Zero at the EnvironmentAl Strategy Day

EDITED BY : SARNALI CHAKRABORTY 2MINS READ

On June 1, at the first EnvironmentAl Strategy Day inauguration, Aluminium Federation (ALFED) revealed plans to establish two new member projects to promote the sector's transition to Net Zero. The move will help the supply chain's understanding of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and raise awareness of aluminium outside of the industry.

An ALFED-accredited ESG officer training course will give resources and assistance to ALFED members' representatives in becoming skilled in ESG to aid in the transition to sustainability. While in collaboration with Bloodhound Education, an 'Aluminium Ambassadors' initiative will train and equip professionals from across the industry to go into educational and corporate settings to deliver informative talks and run EnvironmentAI trained workshops, designed to spark subject and career interest.

Lord Rupert Redesdale, a keynote speaker at the event, said, "ALFED's sustainability strategy day was packed full of insights from Government and the industry on the policies needed to deal with the opportunities and threats that carbon and the wider environmental agenda will place on the aluminium sector. It was a well-attended day that was really valuable to those there."

The EnvironmentAl Strategy Day, held at BMA House in London, attracted approximately 120 members, visitors, government leaders, industry experts, and sustainable solutions providers to exchange ideas and address the primary concerns underlying attaining Net Zero in the aluminium sector. Along with a keynote lecture by Lord Rupert Redesdale, the event included a series of panel talks on greenshoring, carbon leakage, waste elimination, and sorting.

Sustainability in the global aluminium industry

“My plea to UK government is to engage substantially with industry on Net Zero, not via a public consultation, but directly with the strategically important industrially sectors. The government needs to have an industrial strategy that enables Net Zero. It’s not about subsidies, it’s about government engagement and action, facilitating and enabling – making it easy, cutting through the complexity,” added Charles Keen, board member at ALFED.
