Social responsibility for corporate sustainability!

Managing for sustainability

Our definition of "doing the right thing" continues to evolve. It is no longer enough for companies to do "less bad" by reducing their environmental footprint. At Alcan, we are Taking the Next Step by focussing our Corporate Sustainability framework on "doing more good." Whether it's through the design and application of innovative products or by building long-term partnerships through our stakeholder engagement efforts, we are working to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our business.

"There is no doubt in my mind that sustainability makes good business sense. It creates value today and preserves it for tomorrow. It drives us to become a better employer, a better investment, a better neighbour, and a better company with superior value-added products."

– Travis Engen, CEO, GLOBE conference, March 2004

Community Investment Program
We recognize that our corporate and ethical business responsibilities include investing in the communities around us to enhance their economic, environmental and social well-being. Just as Alcan's operations contribute to the quality of life in our host communities, the Company's long-term success depends on community support for our operations, products and services.
