Keeping in mind the numerous ? and challenging- economic, environmental and social issues, the European aluminium industry has been supporting, since -1998, the Aluminium For Future Generations programme:

• a programme based on dialogue with stakeholders to understand and address their expectations;
  
• a programme of partnerships with academics and research institutes in order to develop studies and publications on subjects of common interest;
  
• a programme of initiatives and commitments, such as the definition and implementation of sustainable development indicators;

Overall this programme drives the European aluminium industry on the route to full sustainabilityand offers occasions to exchange on the metal's properties, its life cycle, and its various uses in modern day life.
