The new site -- www.Alcoa.com/sustainability -- summarizes how Alcoa lives its Values while operating its businesses, making each community in which it operates a better place.
The new online reporting, part of the new site, gives stakeholders access to more detailed and current information on sustainability performance, and is supplemented by a year-end highlights document. The format makes sustainability reporting more relevant and timely by allowing for periodic updates throughout the year, and eliminates the need for the paper, ink, and distribution large print-based reports require.
Regional and community reports outlining Alcoa's accomplishments, challenges, and goals in specific areas in which it operates also are available online. A regional report for China summarizing intentions for development there was published for the first time. Reports from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Fjardaal (Iceland), Jamalco (Jamaica), Suralco (Suriname)--and many communities--can also be downloaded by going to www.alcoa.com.
A few of the sustainability accomplishments detailed in the corporate report:
Alcoa welcomes feedback about its sustainability performance and reporting structure. Emails should be sent to sustainability@alcoa.com, or complete an online survey at www.alcoa.com/sustainabilitysurvey.
