ALCOA Joins Climate Registry

Alcoa Inc. has become a Founding Reporter in The Climate Registry. Alcoa operates in more than 300 locations in 44 countries, including a secondary aluminum production facility in Davenport, Iowa. Alcoa will begin transitional reporting in 2009 with its facilities in the state of Washington. All other Alcoa locations, including its Iowa facility, will report beginning in 2010.

By voluntarily committing to measure, independently verify, and publicly report its greenhouse gas emissions on an annual basis utilizing The Climate Registry General Reporting Protocol, Alcoa is demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship. The Protocol is based on the internationally recognized greenhouse gas emissions measurement standards of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council on Sustainability.
