2025–2029 ESG Strategy

Below we present our strategic approach (2025–2029 ESG Strategy) to sustainable development along with directions and goals in environmental, social, and governance areas.

Thanks to properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and, above all, full recyclability, aluminium offers enormous potential. It is a desired element on the path to a climate-neutral economy, essential for the development of many industries. Through an efficient circular economy, we have a real impact on reducing our environmental footprint.
