It is our aim to ensure the communities where Alcoa operates have networks that create opportunities for people, institutions and business to participate more fully in the economic, social and cultural areas of that community.
Portland Aluminium supports the local community through its Partnering Stronger Communities program. The Partnering Stronger Community program works by:
- Helping communities to find solutions through joint projects.
- Providing in kind support and volunteers rather than simply offering financial support.
- Focusing on a shared commitment to making local communities stronger and a better place to live and work.
In 2007, Portland Aluminium provided around $600,000 of funding to community projects under its Partnering Stronger Communities program.
Portland Aluminium’s successful ‘Making the Link’ program coordinated by BacLinks, included monthly volunteer opportunities for our employees. In 2007, Portland Aluminium employees volunteered more than 350 hours as part of this program.
