Our Purpose

We Turn Raw Potential into Real Progress

Today more than ever, our world relies on aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material. From the cars we drive and the lightweight, fuel-efficient planes we fly, to the technology we carry in our pockets, to the energy-efficient buildings in which we work, aluminum has made everyday life better.

We invented the aluminum industry more than 135 years ago, and that legacy motivates us for a better future: One where aluminum will play an even larger role in solving challenges in a world working to decarbonize.

Alcoa is uniquely positioned to deliver sustainable products in a low-carbon economy. But our Purpose extends beyond the products we make – it also reflects the potential we unlock with our people, via career development, and the positive economic impact we bring to the communities where we operate.

Our Purpose to turn raw into real helps guide every goal we set, decision we make, action we take and strategy we implement. It reflects what we’ve always been and provides clear direction for our future and helps keep us rooted to our strengths.
