International Aluminium Institute

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) is the only body representing the global primary aluminium industry.

Through the IAI, the aluminium industry aims to promote a wider understanding of its activities and demonstrate its responsibility in producing the metal and the potential benefits to be realised through its use in sustainable applications and recycling.

IAI member companies are engaged in the production of bauxite, alumina, aluminium, the recycling of aluminium, or fabrication of aluminium or as joint venture partners in such. The Institute works closely with national and regional aluminium associations with which it shares many members.

The Institute’s vision is for aluminium products that support solutions to global challenges.

The IAI’s mission is to:

• Actively promote aluminium and its benefits;
• Reinforce the aluminium industry’s sustainability advantages;
• Collect and provide industry statistics and tools to enable stakeholders to make informed decisions;
• Contribute to standards and regulation that encourage wise use of aluminium;
• Foster improved performance in the industry by:
• Facilitating collaborative research (pre-competitive) to address key sustainability challenges; and
• Providing a forum for sharing of best practice;
• Communicate the views and positions of the aluminium industry to international agencies and other stakeholders;
• Co-operate with regional and national aluminium associations efficiently and cost-effectively.

Aluminium producing companies are eligible for IAI membership, which brings benefits including access to performance benchmarking data and industry trend modelling, as well as the opportunity to lead and engage in global industry initiatives on issues of common interest.

The work of the IAI is overseen by its Board of Directors, with each member company having a representative at the senior management level, usually chairman or CEO. The Board of Directors meets twice a year, with all members entitled to vote and representation at the Annual General Meeting.
