Corporate Knights
Corporate Knights is the world's first mass market magazine with an explicit focus on corporate social responsibility. Its aim is to enhance transparency in ways that identify those companies that are leading – or lagging – in the charge to a better world. Corporate Knights ranks companies annually on their corporate social responsibility performance based on input from a number of leading socially responsible investment research firms.

Corporate Knights ranked Alcan as third out of Canada's Best 50 Corporate Citizens and awarded Alcan the recognition of Best International Corporate Citizen in 2004.

This award is presented every year to a company committed to protecting the environment and contributing to solutions that promote the disposal of plastics in the waste stream.

Employees also recycle aluminum consumer products and donate the proceeds to Habitat for Humanity.
