Partners & Sustainability
Here is how some of our partners view sustainability or our work in that area.
“The Alcoa project (in Iceland) has already affected the overall safety culture on the island. For example, several major purchasers of contractor services are reviewing their selection procedures and methods to emphasize environment, health, and safety as key criteria. In addition, local employees who worked on the Fjarðaál project learned the safety culture and have begun to push for it on other projects. Companies, even those outside of construction, are now asking how they can be like Alcoa and Bechtel. World-class performance like these two companies have doesn’t happen overnight, but Icelandic firms are starting on that path because of this project.”

“The biggest benefit of the (Alcoa employee created) Teach Our Children to Save Our Future program is that it has contributed to the development of the children’s environmental awareness. They realize they have a responsibility to save the environment and to form their own futures.”

“Alcoa has set a great example of corporate support. It’s not just about providing financial support, but using its capacity to work with people from communities and expand their knowledge and skill base with the main aim of taking that knowledge back to their own communities where it can really make a difference.
“The Alcoa Community Partner and Governance Scholarships have set a new benchmark in how companies can support communities and community groups and are a great acknowledgement of the work these people are doing in their own communities. They also recognize their standing as leaders who can spread the knowledge, spread the skills, and spread the inspiration.
“These scholarships are just one example of Alcoa’s work in helping build capacity in the community. Alcoa partners with a variety of organizations on projects designed to empower and grow communities.”
