Alcoa Publishes 2006 China Sustainability Report
BEIJING & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced today that it has released its 2006 China
Sustainability Report, which provides detailed insight into the
actions, achievements and challenges of Alcoa in China, and illustrates
Alcoa’s commitment and dedication to China’s
sustainable development.
Lloyd Jones, president of Alcoa Asia Pacific, said, “Sustainability
is not a one-time event. It is a journey based on continuous improvement
and an unwavering, action-oriented focus on the end goals. Alcoa’s
operations in China are in the early stages of the journey. This report
will show the progress we have made and the challenges that remain.”
Significant highlights from China include:
-
Integration of Alcoa’s environment, health
and safety standards and culture into its facilities in China has
resulted in significant reduction of total recordable injuries from
2005.
-
In 2006, Alcoa acquired and began operating the Kunshan plant in
Kunshan City, setting a strategic footprint for Alcoa China in
automotive brazing sheet products. In addition, Alcoa began the
construction of a new coil-coating line for its wholly owned Alcoa
(Shanghai) Aluminum Products Co., increasing its development
opportunities in China.
-
Through Alcoa and the Alcoa Foundation, community service activities
increased with more than 400 employees participating in Month of
Service projects involving environmental enhancements, education
initiatives, and other community events. The Alcoa Community Framework
was rolled out in China to further engage Alcoa with local government
leadership, NGOs, and other community stakeholders.
