The company has reached that goal seven years ahead of timeframe and it continues to seek emission reductions or the offsetting opportunities.
“This is operational excellence at its best,” stated Alcoa chairman Alain Belda. “It is the result of commitment to process improvement, to waste elimination, to use of best technology and tools available, and commitment to the environment. And, above all, it shows what a team of employees can achieve who are committed and capable of deploying plans and executing the required actions day after day.”
“Reducing emissions while improving production practices with little capital investment is an indication of the great things a team can achieve when pointed at a task,” stated Alcoa president and chief executive officer Klaus Kleinfeld. “I have great confidence in our capabilities to continue attaining further environmental improvements.”
