Alcan Sustainability Report 2007

Climate change is one of the great challenges of the 21^st century. The aluminum industry must respond to the significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with aluminum production. Alcan contributes to solutions through its leadership in the development and marketing of state-of-the-art smelting technology and its expertise in process and emission control. In addition, the Company is a leading advocate of the product life cycle approach, demonstrating and improving aluminum’s contribution to the reduction of GHG emissions in various product applications, such as transportation and through recycling.

Alcan is tackling GHG emissions and the related issue of energy consumption as part of its global business management strategy and by responding to market opportunities based on the GHG benefits associated with a range of aluminum products. Success in continued GHG reductions will have significant positive impacts on Alcan’s long-term business growth and the broad acceptability of its operations and products.
