What International Zinc Association does
Mission
Iza provides a forum for the zinc industry to analyze and anticipate issues affecting zinc globally and to ensure a timely and appropriate response. Iza coordinates initiatives good for zinc that are best done collectively, undertaken either directly or through involvement and support of customer groups and related stakeholders on the local, regional and global levels.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The iza environment, health and sustainability (ehs) programs address and/or promote regulatory environmental research, sustainability, and health issues. In 2024, iza arranged several virtual meetings and webinars with member companies and held an ehs committee meeting in order to better communicate the value of these programs. This work will continue in 2025.
Iza serves as an information hub on zinc and its uses. Its communication process integrates activities and information to engage audiences, while achieving outcomes consistent with iza's mission, vision, and goals. Activities include curating iza conferences and workshops, managing websites and social media, creating newsletters, brochures and other publications supporting iza programs, and media and public relations.
In 2024, iza initiated the zinc enables decarbonization (zed) program which quantifies and substantiates the economic, environmental, and social benefits of using zinc. Zed builds on the return on investments from the carbon footprint pf production, recycling, and key downstream processes by quantifying how zinc-in-use extends the life of the built environment.
The galvanized automotive steel program (gap) was established to retain and grow the market for galvanized steel sheet on automotive bodies by technical innovation and market development. It has attracted significant support from the global steel industry, automakers, and steel industry suppliers who sponsor 95% of the gap budget. It is run in a series of 3-year terms, with 12 research projects in each term. It is estimated that the zinc market for automotive steels is over 700,000 tpy and that there is potential for an additional 50,000 tpy growth in developing countries. For example, there are opportunities in china and india to increase the percentage of galvanized steel used close to levels seen in north america or europe.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $9.0M to $7.6M (−15%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
