Our Mission

Copper Development Association Inc. (CDA) brings the value of copper and its alloys to society, to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.

Our Beliefs

  • Copper, its alloys, and its products are critical to the function of society.
  • The unique combination of copper’s beneficial properties – its reliability, durability, sustainability, antimicrobial action to drive product performance and is unmatched by any other engineering material.
  • The use of copper products and systems will help the world address the challenges of climate change, responsible material production and use, the clean energy transition, and the electrification of transportation.
  • Members are at our core. It is only through robust member engagement, guidance, and action that we can positively influence the use and application of copper to the benefit of society.
  • Sustainability is the responsibility of all. Through a full copper value chain approach, in coordination with policy makers, end users and others, we will continue to be responsible stewards of this important natural resource.
