First Annual Community Meeting
|
|
|
On Monday, April 10th, Warrick Operations hosted the First Annual Community Meeting. Nearly 100 community members attended to hear information about Alcoa and our local operations. After a formal presentation, the attendees broke into smaller groups to learn more about our efforts and give us their feedback about our commitment to sustainability. The feedback received will be used to shape our communications throughout the year and as we plan for a similar meeting in 2007.
Some of the feedback received included:
What Did You Hear That You Liked?- Investment in the future of Alcoa.
- Lowering of emissions, more stringent controls.
- The concept of this meeting itself.
- Community Advisory Board involvement.
- Good to hear about new product lines being developed.
- The electronic newsletter is great.
- Hiring approx. 100 high wage Alcoans.
- Investment in community through capital investment and Alcoa Foundation.
What Did You Hear That You Didn’t Like?- Healthcare and consumerism. Hopefully people will get the medications they need.
- Plans for new plants, only one in North American and that one was in Canada.
What Did You Expect Or Would Like To Hear More About? - What does Alcoa need from the community?
- More demographic information on our aging workforce
- % of day-to-day services/goods comes from local support
- Add emerging technology in future presentation
- % of Alcoa power demand is generated by Alcoa P.P.?
