EAA launches its ‘Sustainability of the European Aluminium Industry 2010′ report
EAA and its member companies launched in 2002 a pioneering exercise: more than 30 measurable Sustainable Development Indicators (SDIs) were identified for the production of aluminium in collaboration with the UNEP/ Wuppertal Institute Collaborating Centre on Sustainable Consumption and Production (CSCP), the University of Versailles and an additional peer group of internal and external stakeholders, with the clear intention to monitor their evolution over time and to report it publicly.
The SDIs published in 2004, 2006 and in the present report clearly show a committed industry making improvements in areas such as:
• Reduction of environmentally damaging emissions and natural resource use,
• Share of renewable electrical energy,
• Workers safety and training,
• Community dialogue penetration,
• Recycling rates and more
