Taskforces
As recognised experts in the materials cycle, IOM3 has contributed to government taskforces on several occasions. This is an important avenue of IOM3 policy work, which raises the profile of the Institute and brings the expertise of our diverse membership into national decision-making processes. For example, IOM3 CEO Colin Church FIMMM sits on the government’s Circular Economy Taskforce and was previously Vice Chair of the Task & Finish Group on Industry Resilience for Critical Minerals. Moreover, several IOM3 members, including Colin Church and former IOM3 President Neil Glover FIMMM, sat on the Critical Minerals Expert Committee established in 2021.
This is an important avenue of IOM3 policy work, which raises the profile of the Institute and brings the expertise of our diverse membership into national decision-making processes. To help our communities understand how taskforces work, how IOM3 engages with them and how they can influence government policy, we have developed an exclusive explainer on this topic. This includes first-hand accounts and insights from IOM3 members who have participated in these groups.
