Foundation Industries at a glance
Our Vision
A globally competitive, resilient, and sustainable industrial landscape for the UK Foundation Industries by 2050.
Our Mission
To support the UK Foundation Industries through sustainability leadership and cross-sector collaboration to accelerate the adoption of disruptive innovation.
Our Values
Collaboration
We know that climate change, sustainability, and industrial transformation are too challenging for one organisation to tackle alone, and often interconnected across supply chains, so we actively promote open, cross-sector partnerships that share knowledge, risk, and reward.
Impactful Innovation
We seek out disruptive innovation that challenges the status quo. Our focus is on scalable, industrially focussed solutions that deliver measurable sustainable impacts.
People-Powered Progress
We champion human-centred design, diversity-driven innovation, skills progression, and leadership to empower the next generation of industry professionals and innovators. A sustainable transition needs everyone.
