MONTREAL – ALCAN has been named the industry champion for metals on FORTUNE MAGAZINE’s “World’s Most Admired Companies” list in 2007. Alcan ranked second out of the more than 1,000 largest global companies surveyed for its efforts in the community and the environment, and sixth for its globalness.
The annual survey is a respected benchmark by which the world’s most successful companies are ranked. Alcan was also voted America’s most admired metals company by Fortune Magazine last week. Alcan was the only Canadian company featured on the list and also placed fifth out of all companies for its efforts in the area of social responsibility.
Alcan’s overall score places it within the top 10 of all 1,000 companies that participated in the “World’s Most Admired” survey. The company ranked first in its industry in each of the key nine evaluated areas: innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment, and quality of products/services, globalness, and community/environment.
In 2003, Alcan implemented EHS FIRST, a key component of Alcan’s Integrated Management System (AIMS), as the framework and mindset through which the company’s commitment to putting environment, health and safety first is translated into recordable and measurable actions.
Between 1990 and 2005, Alcan’s total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission intensity was reduced by 25%. The company recently committed to a further 10% reduction in direct CO2 equivalent emissions intensity from 2006 to 2010.
Alcan recently was awarded the NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL’s (NSC) Robert W. Campbell Award, which acknowledges the very best businesses worldwide to integrate environment, health and safety management as a key business value. Alcan was also awarded the WORLD ENVIRONMENT CENTER’s (WEC) Gold Medal for International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development for the Company’s comprehensive integration of sustainability into its business decision-making and operations.
Alcan was recently included as one of only five Canadian companies on the annual Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World list. Announced at the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM in Davos, the list has featured Alcan for three consecutive years.
