Alessandro Dazza, CEO of Imerys, announced a joint venture with British Lithium Limited on June 29, 2023, to create what he described as the UK's first integrated producer of battery-grade lithium carbonate. Dazza stated that the partnership aims to produce 20,000 tons of lithium in Cornwall, which he said would allow 500,000 cars to become electric, and would be done with jobs and investments in a sustainable and responsible way. He noted that the venture merges the best of both companies, praising British Lithium's entrepreneurial spirit and their pilot plant that has produced battery-grade lithium, while Imerys contributes a large deposit with enough lithium for at least 30 years, land, and expertise in scaling up mining activities. Dazza has also discussed Imerys' digital transformation efforts. In a 2019 presentation, he described the company as a siloed organization that had grown through acquisitions, with 250 IT systems and 30 different intranets. He said that Imerys embarked on a digital transformation in 2017, resulting in a single global intranet and newsletter, which he described as a go-to place for news that is fully integrated with their newsletter tool. He also noted that the platform was used for CEO communications, including live-streamed webinars and videos, and that it allowed for personalization and simplified employee engagement.
