Alcoa Again Named One of the World's Most Sustainable Companies at Davos
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alcoa (NYSE:AA) was named as one of the most sustainable corporations in
the world in the fourth annual Global 100 ranking of the top role models
in sustainable business practices, announced last week at the World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Alcoa has been on the list every
year since the ranking was started in 2005 and is the only U.S. based
company named to the list from the Materials sector. Approximately
one-third of companies on last year’s ranking
did not return in 2008.
The Global 100 looks at the environmental, social and governance
performance of companies. The list was created by media company
Corporate Knights of Canada and research firm Innovest Strategic Value
Advisors, which compiles and analyzes 1,800 international companies and
compares them to their sector peers, looking for the best in each class.
Alcoa’s commitment to sustainability has a
long history and is integrated into its business and operating
practices, and community involvement. Alcoa, as a founding member of
USCAP, is a leading proponent of legislation to reduce U.S. greenhouse
gas emissions, and has actively participated in the U.S. Climate Policy
Forum to assess national climate policy options from which federal
policy might be created. In the community, Alcoa Foundation, throughout
its 55 year history, has contributed nearly $437 million improving the
lives in communities in which the company operates.
