Community Engagement Highlights: Brazil

In Brazil, we continue to build transparency, collaboration, and trust with local communities. At Alumar, work is underway to develop a multi-stakeholder governance forum to support regional development planning in São Luís, with a focus on improving coordination of infrastructure and social investment.

In Juruti, engagement expanded to address community concerns related to dredging, with the introduction of year-round consultation and clearer disclosure of plans and activities.

Progress also continued on land-use compensation. In 2025, Alcoa paid US$4.5 million to ACORJUVE as partial compensation for land occupation and mining activities between 2011 and 2025, following earlier payments covering 2006–2010. This builds on ongoing collaboration with INCRA and ACORJUVE, including the reactivation of a joint study group. The final compensation amount remains subject to an independent third-party assessment, expected in 2027. Funds support more than 4,000 families, along with collective social projects, and the strengthening of ACORJUVE’s institutional capacity and operations.
