Apply now for the EUROPEAN FOUNDRY WOMEN’S AWARD 2023!

The foundry industry needs the tal­ent of the new gen­er­a­tion to ful­fil its key role in the green trans­ition of the European industry. Women must be part of this strategy, because more than ever it will be the integ­ra­tion of the tal­ents of all that will help to address the import­ant chal­lenges that we have to face in the trans­form­a­tion of our indus­tries and our eco­nom­ies towards a more sus­tain­able future.

The full integ­ra­tion of women in the industry is not only a great oppor­tun­ity to develop new tal­ent, but it is also an import­ant respons­ib­il­ity for the industry to ensure par­ity of oppor­tun­ity, as well as a way for the industry to demon­strate its com­mit­ment to increas­ing diversity, which is a key aspect of the ODD and of the Cor­por­ate Sus­tain­ab­il­ity Report­ing Dir­ect­ive that will apply to most of our com­pan­ies from 2025. EFF mem­bers are keenly aware of the role of women in the foundry and cast­ing industry and the need to enable and ensure the devel­op­ment of women’s careers in our foundries and the asso­ci­ated sup­ply chains.

EFF there­fore calls on you to par­ti­cip­ate in the 2^nd edi­tion of the:
