The program "Aluminum for Future Generations" also establishes
22 sustainability indicators that will monitor
the industry's activities with regards to the
eight voluntary
goals defined
by the initiative. The objective is to assess
the industry's progress towards sustainability.
The
creation of mechanisms that will not only collect
information but will also improve performance
related to the primary aluminum industry's sustainable
development, is a major challenge of the world
industry in the coming years. Companies that
operate in Brazil have already embraced them,
and the methods for control and measurement of
the indicators are being developed.
