Vision and Values

Alcoa’s value and future growth are rooted in a unique combination of resources – exceptional people, proprietary technologies, natural resources, strategic alliances, and a global network of world-class plants and equipment.

For decades, Alcoa has built up a unique portfolio of select tangible and intangible assets across the globe.

Managed from an ethos of stewardship, these assets extend from mineral deposits and energy resources that communities and countries have entrusted to us for development, to intellectual properties and strategic alliances nurtured over many years.

Alcoa has been able to capitalize on the global trend to privatize, often becoming a preferred bidder on government-owned assets because of our reputation for cultural sensitivity, values-driven management, and community involvement.

Our in-house development of intellectual properties has helped to make Alcoa not only a preferred supplier but also the preferred employer for innovators seeking to practice in an atmosphere of freedom and technological energy.

These and other strategic assets represent the underlying, often overlooked, value in Alcoa and will serve as the engine for our future growth for decades to come.
