Alcoa Corporation Named to Dow Jones Sustainability Indices

Alcoa, a global leader in bauxite, alumina and aluminum products, has been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), respected benchmarks for corporate sustainability. Only the most sustainable companies in each industry are considered for index membership.

Alcoa is included in both the World and North American indices. This is the second year Alcoa has earned a place on the DJSI World Index, which represents the top 10 percent of the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI), and the first year for the DJSI North America Index, the top 20 percent of the largest 600 North American companies in the S&P Global BMI.

“Alcoa continually strives to create sustainable value in the communities where we operate, enhance the value of our products, and improve the environmental footprint of our operations,” said Michelle O’Neill, Senior Vice President of Global Government Affairs and Sustainability. “Our inclusion in these distinctive indices is an important recognition for the work we complete across our global operations.”

The DJSI listings were launched in 1999 as the first global sustainability benchmark and track the performance of the world's leading sustainability-driven companies based on financial, environmental, social and governance factors.
