What we do

We are proud to be the world’s largest producer of low-carbon aluminium. Lightweight, strong and durable, aluminium is a crucial metal in the development of sustainable transportation, buildings, infrastructure and everyday products. It is endlessly recyclable without any loss of its unique properties, making a significant contribution to the developing circular economy. In fact, 75% of all aluminium ever produced is still in use today. Powered by 15.1 GW of hydroelectricity, the carbon footprint of our ALLOW aluminium is at least 60% lower than the global average and we are committed to driving this lower still.

We are committed to supporting global efforts to meet the Paris Agreement’s target of limiting world temperature rises to 1.5°C. We are working towards the scale production of carbon-neutral aluminium, ensuring our operations have only a positive impact on the environment. We lower emissions in the production process every year; we invest in R&D to provide innovative sustainable technologies; and we scrutinise every aspect of our integrated value chain to minimise our environmental impact.

We are dedicated to providing rewarding employment for people around the world. With world-class Health and Safety measures embedded across all our operations, learning and development programmes open to all, and fair remuneration packages, we are helping all our staff build life-long careers in the sector. We take a similarly responsible approach to the communities in which we work, developing programmes that improve education and social opportunities, environmental conditions, and access to vital services around the world.
