Combined Community Investing — Approach
Every year, Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation invest millions of dollars in the communities in which the company operates around the word. Whether at the global or local level, our grants are awarded to meet the needs and respond to the aspirations of communities. This approach towards giving marshals the expertise, energy and shared values of Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation to leverage the best practices of socially responsible businesses around the world.
Alcoa Canada Primary Metals facilities play a central role in the economic activity of the regions in which they are located. We believe the same should be true on the social and cultural levels, so that all aspects of the lives of our employees, their families, friends, and neighbours are similarly enriched.
Alcoa Canada Primary Metals and Alcoa Canada Community Grants
In addition to the donations from the Alcoa Foundation, each Alcoa Canada Primary Metals plant, as well as Alcoa’s Canadian head office, offers grants and sponsorships meeting certain special community needs.
Thus, from Baie-Comeau to Montréal, Alcoa Canada Primary Metals and the Alcoa Foundation together invested more than $3 million in 2008 in dozens of initiatives promoting education, culture, health or sustainable development.
