Aluminium Industry’s New Greenhouse Gas Initiative  

Published in

2023

The International Aluminium Institute (IAI) has launched a new initiative that commits to transparently and publicly track ambition and progress in greenhouse gas reduction of all its member companies.

This initiative has already been backed by major aluminium producers as the sector continues to act on reducing its greenhouse gas emissions.

Signatories include Aluminerie Alouette, Aluminium Bahrain ( Alba), Alcoa Corporation, Alumina Limited, Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio (CBA), Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), Hindalco Industries Limited, Norsk Hydro, Mitsubishi Corporation, Rio Tinto Aluminium, Rusal, Sohar Aluminium and South32. Together these companies produce 221 million tonnes of Greenhouse Gas emissions.
