NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced today that it has joined with a group of
businesses and institutional investors in a call to action for the U.S.

The group, organized by Ceres and its Investor Network of Climate Risk,
represents dozens of institutional investors managing $4.4 trillion in
assets and a number of leading U.S. companies, including Alcoa.
Ceres, whose goal is to advance corporate responsibility among its
coalition members, worked with the businesses and institutional
