The 34 indicators of the
European aluminium industry are gathered in 11 categories,
covering the economic, environmental and social dimensions
of sustainability.
"Sustainability
for European Aluminium" is the first report
of this groundbreaking exercise on sustainable development
indicators officially released in 2004, in which the
data for each indicator were collected. This document
contributes to the industry's credibility by providing,
for each indicator, precise data for the years 1997
and 2002.
This report marked an important step in
the Aluminium for Future Generations programme and the
commitment taken to improve the sustainability of the
European aluminium industry. This exercise was beneficial
to all parties involved. It applied to both the larger
aluminium companies - which were taking it from a more
global perspective to their local plant and community
levels - as well as to SME's who are increasingly becoming
aware of sustainable development and what it can mean
for them. Together with the various national aluminium
associations, this pro-active approach leads to a strengthening
of the European aluminium industry position and to an
undeniable increased credibility.
The EAA will continue to work on its commitment
towards sustainable progress and intends to release
its next sustainability report in 2006.
The following list is currently being
revised on the basis of stakeholder input and experience
from the first EAA suvey.
