 What Else Is Needed?

Engage all Alcoa employees and use their

creativity and innovation

Abandon the “business-as-usual” approach . . .

end-of-pipe solutions don’t solve problems or save money
-- in fact, they do the opposite

Use the full power of the Alcoa Business System

New and creative interaction with communities,

regulators and non-government organizations

Alcoa must be the best company in each community

before Alcoa can be the best company in the world.

 What can be learned from Alcoa?

We set difficult goals…..

and then we meet them…..

It does not happen easily…it requires training, communication,

resources, commitment, creativity and dedication.

…..and the engagement of 131,000 people

- 19 -
 My Policy Recommendations
Aim for transparency in all policy options
Articulate goals very clearly
Provide options for achieving the goals
Benchmark the “best” and most effective
Be very selective in what you want to accomplish (the goals
you select and the milestones that you use to monitor progress
will drive behaviors and shape attitudes, support and
acceptance)
Put metrics in place that are understood by all stakeholders
Monitor and report openly and frequently
Engage the entire community, make as many as possible feel
that they are a part of the program
Celebrate all progress
