Colombia - 2007
Alcoa CSI Colombia Earns Highest Social Responsibility Rating from Coca-Cola

Following a third-party assessment of its performance against basic human rights and labor standards for customer Coca-Cola, the Alcoa Closure Systems International (CSI) facility in Colombia earned the highest rating available and a spot at the top of the global beverage manufacturer's chain of suppliers.

Coca-Cola's Supplier Guiding Principles (SGP) are a vital pillar of the company's workplace accountability programs. These programs are driven by the belief that good corporate citizenship is essential to the company's long-term business success and must be reflected in its relationships and actions in its own workplaces and those of its authorized suppliers. The company routinely uses independent third parties to assess suppliers' compliance with the SGP.

Two employees from independent assessor Cal Safety Compliance Corporation (CSCC) visited the Alcoa CSI Colombia facility in October 2006 for an initial SGP onsite audit. The auditors spent one day at the facility, conducting random and scheduled meetings with employees, touring the facility, and reviewing documentation. The facility was notified of the audit 15 days prior to its start.

All of the companies audited for Coca-Cola are done so under the same grading matrix, which transforms facts and data into a measurable system. A green grade, like that received by the Alcoa facility, is the highest a company can earn.
