Based in Brussels, the European Copper Institute (ECI) is the leading advocate for the copper industry in Europe.
As part of the International Copper Association (ICA), the ECI team is made up of policy, industry and scientific experts promoting copper's crucial role in the energy transition, electromobility, and the building or renovation of sustainable, energy-efficient buildings.
Through robust methodologies based on business and scientific data, ECI ensures the copper industry's license to operate receives fair treatment under the European Green Deal, especially in the area of chemical management. In addition, ECI serves as the secretariat of the REACH Copper Consortium, which provides a coordinated answer to the EU requirements on chemicals registration, evaluation and authorization.
