Community Overview

As a global organization, Alcoa touches the lives of thousands of people every day in the communities where we operate—through our employees, customers, and suppliers, in our plants, and through our many nonprofit partners around the world.

Wherever we go, whatever we do, we take our values with us. They are the core of what defines us and drives us. One of our values—accountability—measures our success in the context of our many stakeholders, specifically mentioning the long-term health and well-being of our communities.

Community matters to Alcoa. Communities hold our franchise to operate, and we need their resources, infrastructure, markets, and workforce to thrive. We owe them our integrity, our careful stewardship of the environment, and our ability to offer jobs and community support. It's a mutual compact serving mutual interests. It lasts over time. It's expressed in our values and goes further to support our sustainability goal of delivering net long-term benefits to our many stakeholders.

Our future is linked to the future of our communities. We are driven by the conviction that part of being the best company in the world is being the best company in our communities.
