THE FOUNDATION OF OUR VISION

Our vision to be a recognized leader in EHS excellence builds upon our company values, our expectations of our employees, and is realized through the Alcan Integrated Management System, which includes EHS FIRST.

Alcan Integrated Management System
Aiming to be the best is second nature at Alcan, whether it is in the way we produce our high-quality products or the way we manage our businesses and engage with stakeholders. The introduction of the Alcan Integrated Management System (AIMS) in 2004 served to interconnect our three key corporate building blocks: Value-Based Management, EHS FIRST and Continuous Improvement. By aligning these elements into an integrated business management system, we have aligned our efforts in pursuit of a common goal -- our governing objective of Maximizing Value.

Alcan AIMS TO BE THE BEST -- today and tomorrow, in everything we do.

EHS FIRST
EHS FIRST is a set of common standards, procedures and, most importantly, a mindset for achieving excellence in Alcan's environment, health and safety performance for the benefit of its employees and the communities in which it operates. EHS FIRST represents an ironclad commitment from each Alcan employee and from all levels of the organization to improve through increased awareness, knowledge sharing and by applying best practices.

EHS FIRST is more than a management system -- it also promotes a proactive attitude and an acceptance of responsibility and accountability. It demands a willingness to change, and a promise to do the right thing. EHS FIRST incorporates ISO 14001, a globally recognized environmental standard, and OHSAS 18001, an international occupational health and safety certification. It also ensures that we comply with and, where possible, exceed increasingly strict government regulations around the world regarding transparency, responsibility and accountability.
