Our DNA: The Distinctive Nature of Alcan

Just as we have linked our commitment to sustainability and stakeholder engagement to our governing objective of Maximizing Value, our human resources strategies and processes are developed in parallel with and in direct support of the Company's business strategy.

An employer of choice
Alcan remains committed to being ranked among the world’s elite group of industrial companies and to doubling its value every five years. To realize this objective, we offer world-class products, we use state-of-the-art processes, and we have adopted a code of conduct and values that are beyond reproach. In a continuous improvement environment, we seek opportunities for future growth that are consistent with our sustainable development objectives, and as an employer of choice, we make the investments required to maximize the personal and professional development of our employees.

For employees of choice!
No matter what their respective roles, all Alcan employees make an important contribution to maximizing value and have an opportunity to pursue shared objectives by thinking and acting like owners. Our talent management system allows us to provide our employees with tools and information that can help them work effectively, reach their full potential and grow within the organization.

Like our employees, other stakeholders such as our shareholders, customers, suppliers and the communities where the Company operates also benefit from our improved systems and processes, our development and our creativity. Recruiting and retaining the best candidates for each position at the Company is key to the achievement of these objectives.

As for achieving our governing objective of Maximizing Value, our employees make all the difference. This is the essence of what makes the Company so unique—the Distinctive Nature of Alcan.
