Environmental Sustainability

We Turn Raw Potential into Real Progress

Our Purpose extends beyond what we make today. It’s why we exist and how we make the world better. It reflects what we’ve always been and provides clear direction for our future and helps keep us rooted to our strengths.

Our Purpose helps guide every goal we set, decision we make, action we take and strategy we implement.

Evolving the Aluminum Industry

We are making something real at Alcoa. It’s more than incremental improvements —we are unlocking the value inside our people and processes to change the industry and shape the world we live in.

Our products help customers solve problems in a carbon-constrained world. We offer the industry’s most comprehensive low-carbon product portfolio, Sustana. We evaluate new partnerships that create materials for tomorrow’s sustainable economy. And we support recycling through innovative breakthrough technologies.

Alcoa actively participates in every community in which we operate around the world. We hold ourselves to the highest operational and sustainability standards to ensure that we are a good neighbor. We want the communities in which our employees work and live to thrive, and we view our tenure in these places as an opportunity to help develop economic activity, environmental practices and social programs that will stay in place after our role ends. We have a deep commitment to investing, volunteering and building long-term relationships in our communities. Close community ties are fundamental to ensuring our social license to operate.
