Nickel Institute Report
|
Nickel Magazine, June 2007 -- For the first time, the Nickel Institute, publisher of this magazine, has published an Annual Report. The 32-page report highlights the achievements of the Institute, which represents 18 companies that produce more than 85% of the world’s nickel and support and promote its use and re-use. The Institute is staffed by 28 full-time staff operating in every major nickel market in the world. The 2006 Annual Report outlines the considerable value and integrity the Institute brings to its member companies and their down-stream customers, the users of nickel. “We share a continuing commitment to raising the bar in terms of behaving responsibly and earning a reputation for our industry that secures a sustainable future for our employees, our customers, and the end-users of nickel-containing materials who rely on our products,” says Tav Morgan, Chairman of the Nickel Institute, in the Annual Report. “We are proud to promote and encourage the use of nickel as the quality material of choice in special applications such as high-efficiency jet engines and batteries for hybrid cars that can reduce carbon emissions, and thus address the world’s major environmental concern of global warming.” The annual report highlights the achievements of each of the three main “pillars” of the Institute, namely nickel market and use support, nickel science, and business advocacy. Total operating expenses for the Institute in 2006 were US$10 million. A copy of the report can be downloaded from the Institute’s web site.
