Respect for diversity of interests, cultures, customs and the values of Alcoans and our wider communities are vital parts of our corporate Values.
These values are the foundation of our Human Rights Policy, which incorporates the United Nations Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPS) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) Conventions. We strive to apply these principles to all aspects of our work, including our business and supplier partnerships around the world.
Our Human Rights Policy is central to our philosophy and approach.
Our respect for people and society extends through (is also strengthened by) Alcoa’s additional social policies:
- Code of Conduct and Ethics covering human rights and informing employee training
- Indigenous Peoples Policy respecting rights holders and fostering a journey toward reconciliation
- Social Policy and our vision to create sustainable value in the communities where we have a presence
- Supplier Standards explicitly indicating respect for human rights
- Internal and third-party supplier assessment programs for new and existing suppliers (read more on the Supply Chain web page)
- Equal Employment Opportunity Policy to work to safeguard against unfair treatment
- Harassment and Bullying Free Workplace Policy aimed at preventing harassment and bullying both in and out of the workplace
- Integrity Line for employees, suppliers and the general public to report potential violations or concerns
Our Human Rights Council is sponsored at our executive level.
- It includes representatives from each key resource unit and region where we have operations.
- Council members meet regularly and provide feedback to sponsors periodically to keep our Executive Team informed on Alcoa’s human rights activities.
- Discussions revolve around objectives and strategies to implement our human rights approach throughout company functions and external interactions.
Alcoa is also addressing human rights risks associated with the implementation of security at our locations, having joined the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights in 2022.
