Alcan’s EHS FIRST model

 

Scope of Alcan’s EHS policy

One of the world’s leading suppliers of bauxite, alumina and aluminum, and a top-ranked provider of engineered and packaging materials, Alcan strives to deliver increased productivity, competitiveness and profitability to customers around the world while balancing its economic, environmental and social responsibilities everywhere it operates. Attesting to the success of these efforts, Alcan was selected as a “Super-Sector Leader” on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index in 2005.

With some 65,000 employees working in a variety of industrial sectors in 61 countries and regions across the globe, Alcan faced a daunting EHS management challenge, and EHS FIRST was originally designed to meet Alcan’s own complex needs in the field.


Alcan's ongoing commitment to sustainability has garnered the Company international recognition from some of the world’s most prestigious organizations in the areas of corporate responsibility, climate leadership, reporting, environmental excellence and governance.
