Ethics and Compliance
We expect every Alcoan in every part of the world to bring our Vision & Values to work every day. To help them do this, we have established an Ethics and Compliance Program that includes globally published workplace standards, a global education program to put them into practice, and a global Ethics and Compliance Line that gives employees and other concerned parties an anonymous channel for asking questions, expressing concerns, and raising issues about workplace activities and business practices. These tools are being made available to Alcoa employees worldwide in 21 languages, with local toll-free compliance lines answered in the caller's native language.
