Our Purpose
Our Purpose extends beyond what we make today. It’s why we exist and how we make the world better. It reflects what we’ve always been and provides clear direction for our future and helps keep us rooted to our strengths.
Our Purpose helps guide every goal we set, decision we make, action we take and strategy we implement.

We are making something real at Alcoa. It’s more than incremental improvements —we are unlocking the value inside our people and processes to change the industry and shape the world we live in.
