The Aluminium Federation (ALFED) welcomed more than 80 members, parliamentarians and industry representatives to the House of Lords on Tuesday 2nd June, for its annual reception, where it formally launched its new Positions & Strategic Priorities Framework (2026–2027).
The framework focuses on six core priorities:
- Energy competitiveness and industrial viability
- Circularity, recycling and retention of material value within the UK
- Strengthening domestic processing and midstream manufacturing capability
- Trade and carbon policy alignment
- Supply chain resilience and defence readiness
- The continued development of ALFED’s Sector Groups and Trade Committee as evidence-led forums for industry representation
At the heart of the framework is a clear ambition to create the conditions necessary for investment, innovation and long-term competitiveness, ensuring the UK captures greater value from aluminium throughout the domestic supply chain.
