From electric vehicles to wind turbines to special alloys for lighter wheels, aluminium is set to play a big role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. Here are some of the things that make our aluminium a more sustainable choice:

• In 2016, we launched the industry’s first certified low carbon aluminium, RenewAl™.
  And in 2019, we created Revolution-Al™, a new alloy designed to make lighter and stronger car wheels, helping to reduce CO₂ emissions.
• It meets the highest possible environmental, social and governance standards.
  In 2018, we became the first company to receive certification from the (ASI), assuring our aluminium as responsibly produced.
• Across our global aluminium operations, our carbon footprint is 60% below the industry average.
  Combining clean, Canadian hydropower with our leading edge technology, we produce aluminium with one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world.
• We are working to reduce the environmental footprint of the aluminium industry on a global scale.
  ELYSIS, our joint venture with Alcoa with support from Apple and the Canadian and Quebec governments, is set to replace greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the smelting process with pure oxygen. In Canada alone, the use of this technology could reduce GHG emissions by 7 million tons – the equivalent of removing 1.8 million cars from the roads.
• And soon, we will offer aluminium made from recycled scrap.
  By working with Shawinigan Aluminium Inc., we will be able to provide our customers in Canada and the US with another way to meet increasing consumer demand for sustainable products. And – in a small way – play our part in working towards a more sustainable, low-carbon economy too.
