Increase recycling of aluminum
|
25% recycled aluminum content in fabricated products by 2010; 50% by 2020

Ratio of purchased scrap to total fabricated product shipments was 25%. However, the total amount of recycled metal in our products is somewhat lower since a portion of the purchased scrap would have been included in primary ingot sold to third parties.

Improve resource use to reduce environmental "footprint"
|
From base year 2005:
10% reduction in selected material use by 2010
• 2006: Collect data
• 2007: Com- mence reporting
|
Given the dynamic variability in our operations and the materials used, a single material use reduction target has proven to be suboptimal. Therefore, this target will be eliminated. However, many of our other initiatives (e.g., water reduction, emission reduction, and inert anode technology) will also reduce relative material use rates.

High audit performance
|
No material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect Alcoa's ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial information

Alcoa continued to meet the goal of no material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting.

Ethics and compliance
|
Resolution of 90% of cases reported on the Compliance Line within 12 working days by 2009
(Current evaluation of our ability to close calls demonstrates that achieving the 12 working day goal is not realistic at this point. As business conditions change, we will continue to assess the likelihood of achieving this goal.)
|
Employee relations calls, including those involving payroll or benefit determination issues, were resolved within 12 working days 95% of the time in 2008.
