Engaging and Partnering with
Stakeholders
We understand the value of good
stakeholder relationships and the potential costs of
falling short of stakeholder expectations. In a very
real sense, sound stakeholder relationships are the
foundation of our license to operate.

We have a number of stakeholders – those who are
impacted, or believe they are impacted by Alcan's operations
– in the following categories:
The following sections describe some of the range of
interaction we have with these stakeholders. Our business
groups have specific stakeholders directly related to
their operations and business issues.
Alcan engages with stakeholders in a variety of ways.
We have made extensive resources available to our managers
including a handbook on stakeholder engagement to support
them in early and effective relationship development
in the communities in which they operate.
We recognize that fulfilling our commitment to sustainability
requires that we become increasingly systematic in:
| • |
Engaging globally and nationally as well as locally; |
| • |
Playing a constructive role in addressing the
sustainability issues of our industry; |
| • |
Forming and sustaining effective partnerships
on the broadening range of issues we care about,
including working with our customers and suppliers
to advance sustainability innovations; and |
| • |
Bringing the perspectives and insights we gain
from stakeholder engagement into our business decision-making
processes. |
