Alcoa Ranked Among Top Companies on Climate Change and Governance by Leading Environmental Group; Alcoa #2 in the U.S.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 21, 2006--Alcoa (NYSE:AA) announced today that CERES, the largest coalition of investors, environmental and public interest organizations in North America, ranked Alcoa second among U.S. companies in its Report on Corporate Governance and Climate Change. This report is the first comprehensive measurement of how 100 leading global companies are preparing and positioning themselves to face the challenges of global warming. It is designed to be used as a benchmark tool by institutional investors and corporations.
Companies in the 10 most carbon-intensive sector industries were evaluated on how they addressed climate change through board oversight, management performance, public disclosure, emissions accounting and strategic planning. Alcoa scored 74 out of a possible 100 points, following DuPont, who had 85 points.
Alcoa was cited as a positive example in management execution. The report states that Alcoa's CEO is among the leaders in its industry by articulating the business case for GHG controls and a supportive government regulatory framework.
"Alcoa is committed to being a leader in addressing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This report recognizes both our focus on the issue and the hard work over the past decade to cut GHG emissions by more than 25 percent over 1990 levels," said Alcoa Chairman and CEO Alain Belda.
Separately, Alcoa was the highest scoring American company in an analysis of environmental and sustainability reporting in the metals, mining and crude-oil sectors by The Roberts Environmental Center of Claremont McKenna College, Claremont, California.
