Money Picks Alcoa
The January 2002 issue of Money magazine featured Alcoa as a best investment for 2002 – one of only eight stocks named. In addition to praise for the company’s management and ability to cut costs, the article cited Alcoa’s ten-year history of 31% annual increases in earnings, while the average S&P 500 stock gained only 11% annually, and the company’s 154% five-year return on investment, compared with the S&P 500’s 64%. The magazine refers to Alcoa as “a growth machine.”
Safer Highways
Alcoa was awarded the Pennsylvania Governor’s Highway Safety Award in the Business Leadership category for the Allegheny County Safe Driving Community Project. Alcoa sponsored a “Safe Driving Communities” forum, bringing together many private and public sector groups working to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. Ultimately, the project will provide a model that can be replicated in other communities.
Hall’s Process Honored
The commercialization of aluminum, made possible by chemist Charles Martin Hall and the financial backing of the company that would become Alcoa, has been designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark by the American Chemical Society.
For Work and Family
Alcoa World Alumina Australia received the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) National Work and Family Gold Award for 2001, given to honor overall outstanding achievement in addressing the work and life needs of employees. It also won in the ACCI National Work and Family Large Business Award category.
