Attend the annual dinner

The Copper Club is where the industry comes together to celebrate progress and shape what comes next.

Copper is at the heart of the world's most important industries, powering everything from modern infrastructure and communications to clean energy and data centers. And it is more central to today’s critical mineral conversations than ever before.

That makes copper an underrated place to build a career. One with global impact and the chance to rise in a transforming industry.

The Copper Club's highest honor, the Ankh Award is presented at the Annual Dinner to an individual whose contributions have shaped the copper industry.

Oriol Guixà

Oriol Guixà has spent more than 45 years championing copper - its properties, its potential, and its role in building a more sustainable world. As Chairman of La Farga, he pioneered recycling technologies and circular economy principles that have become benchmarks for the global industry, long before sustainability was a priority for anyone else. His work has advanced energy efficiency, responsible resource use, and the case for copper as an essential material in the energy transition. The Copper Club is proud to honor his extraordinary contribution.
