International Lithium Association - ILiA

Home » Sustainability » Our Approach » ILiA

Since 2023, we are member of the International Lithium Association (ILiA).

ILiA is the global trade association for the lithium industry and represents the entire lithium value chain. The Association was established in 2021 as an international non-profit industry association run by and for its members.

Their vision is to be the voice of the lithium industry, to promote ESG and sustainability as well as to be a global authority on lithium.

Part of the important work developed for the association includes a Journal ( “The Lithium Voice”), along with webinars, technical guidance (Determining the Product Carbon Footprint of Lithium) and reports (introduction to DLE) aimed to promote a better understanding of the Lithium industry and of the ILiA members.

There are many benefits for companies to receive from their ILiA membership, e.g. networking, coordination, representation, sharing best practice, collaborating on challenges in legislation etc. However, the most important benefit to an individual company is to learn about new business opportunities and market knowledge that comes from networking with other members.

Membership of ILiA is open to all players of the entire lithium supply chain. Among their core members are companies like Albemarle, Arcadium Lithium, SQM and Pilbara minerals. DEM is an Associate member, together with Andrada Mining, Eramet S.A., Fastmarkets, Minviro, Rio Tinto, Shanghai Metals Market, Wood Mackenzie Ltd and Zelandez, among others. Associate members play a key role in ILiA’s working groups and vision. As key downstream stakeholders, associates can join sub-committees, attend all ILiA events at member rates, and observe plenary sessions and the annual AGM.
