By bringing in world-class manufacturing concepts and challenging existing quality standards, Alcoa's Tennessee Operations is making a long-term commitment to its customers -- the aluminum can makers of the world.
That same commitment applies to Tennessee Operations employees and the community in which we operate. Tennessee is committed to the environment and the practice of reducing, reusing and recycling. The plant has been recognized both within the company and by the state of Tennessee for its innovative approach to environmental management. Alcoa's promise to protect the environment is made clear through its corporate policy and day-to-day action.
Tennessee Operations is equally committed to the community. Through Alcoa Foundation grants, community service and employee charitable giving, Alcoa supports the community that has helped it prosper over the years. Since 1989, more than $5 million has been given to area charitable organizations and educational institutions.
