Alcoa's 2011 Sustainability Report
So Lus (MA) Alumar Consortium

Alumar (Aluminum Consortium of Maranho) is one of the worlds biggest complexes for the production of primary aluminum and alumina. Inaugurated in July 1984, it is formed by Alcoa, Rio Tinto Alcan and BHP Billiton and plays an important social and economic role in Maranho.

The structure of Alumars business model is supported by the concept of sustainability and in its daily routines the company incorporates criteria that ensure economic success, environmental excellence and social responsibility. One of the pillars of this model is the Alcoa Business System (ABS), which seeks to continuously improve the quality of the production system, reduce costs and production times and improve health, safety and environmental conditions in the workplace.

With production that has been growing year on year, 90% of the Consortiums employees are from Maranho and it has hundreds of local suppliers. The smelting area produced a record 350,000 tons of primary aluminum between January and December 2010.
