The growing standard of living in newly developed and heavily populated parts of the world is driving a relentless need for new infrastructure and consumer goods. At the same time the human footprint on the planet has a far greater impact on fragile ecosystems than ever before.

Alcoa is meeting the challenge with a core commitment to operating sustainably in the communities and ecosystems in which we do business. At the same time, we're delivering new ideas and solutions that will help build a healthier and more sustainable future both for the planet and its people.

Solutions that help buildings, cars, airplanes, trucks and trains get more performance from less fuel. Solutions that help other industries operate more efficiently and sustainably. Solutions that recycle into new products, over and over again.

Our leadership in aluminum positions us uniquely to deliver faster, stronger, lighter and more sustainable solutions to meet today's challenges and to deliver the promise of tomorrow.
