• "Preserving the Land - The first Corporate Park Achievement Award from the U.S. National Parks Conservation Association was given to Alcoa for preserving 10,000 acres of land next to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee."
• "Living with Nature - The Alumar Environmental Park in Brazil."
• "Conserving Biodiversity - Alcoa is working with Conservation International and Guinée Ecologie, Guinea’s national environment group, on maintaining the sustainable development of the region. Alcoa has access to some of the world’s largest bauxite reserves in Guinea."
• "Alcoa’s San Ciprián (Spain) and Massena (U.S.) plants are enlightening youngsters about energy conservation. San Ciprián partnered with a local school to teach students about renewable energy. Through an Alcoa Foundation grant, Illa de Sarón de Xove Secondary Education Institution invested in an alternative energy generator project, a photovoltaic solar facility connected

to a power grid and wind energy generator. Massena Operations is helping Cornell University Cooperative Extension build an interactive energy closet where children can monitor their energy use while at a summer camp." [1]
