The ILA-CBI EU Advocacy Toolkit, a comprehensive resource designed to support advocacy and public affairs activities promoting the benefits and strategic importance of lead and lead batteries in Europe, has been updated. This latest version of the Toolkit, version 3, contains additional facts, refreshed data, more case studies, and a range of other added information, including:
- Lead’s case for recognition as a Strategic Raw Material
- Research achievements of the Consortium for Battery Innovation
- Responsible production and sourcing: deeper dives on the ILA’s worker lead exposure reduction programme and Lead Battery 360
- Industrial Accelerator Act: ILA’s reaction
- Content from the recent Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI) EU Roadmap, more data from KPMG’s Global Energy Storage Report produced for CBI
- Case studies: small calibre ammunition, Microsoft’s Majorana 2
… as well as updated material including:
- Defence lifecycle information and information on uses
- Policy asks
- The Lead Matters e-leaflet “MANY REASONS WHY LEAD MATTERS TO EUROPE”
You can access the Toolkit, and a short video explaining more about how to use it, in this SharePoint folder: Stakeholder Tools
-you will also find lead and lead battery industry “footprint” documents for a range of EU Member States in this folder.
Lisa Allen, Lead REACH Consortium Manager, said, “Thanks to feedback and support from REACH Consortium members and other stakeholders, this invaluable advocacy and communications resource has been enhanced and improved since its original embodiment. New material and updated content means that the Toolkit provides even more essential information and background to help members and stakeholders when meeting with stakeholders in Brussels or Member States. It’s still an easy-to-use, fact-based, customisable resource to support lead-related outreach, now with more content, facts and data, supported by a suite of country-specific “footprints” about the lead and lead battery value chain in Europe, and a handy how-to-use video to help users get the most out of the Toolkit. I am confident it will prove a vital resource for members’ outreach activities in Brussels and closer to home.”
