We recognize and respect the diversity, cultures, customs and values of Indigenous, First Nation and other Land-Connected Peoples where Alcoa operates. Recognizing their needs, concerns and aspirations is important to us, especially in the context of their heritage and traditions.
We acknowledge that some of our operations are located in the homelands of Indigenous, First Nation and other Land-Connected Peoples. Through a collaborative approach, we have developed an understanding that during the long history of our operations and over generations of varying and increasing levels of cultural awareness, we might have affected the rights and lives of those people in ways we might not fully appreciate.
As part of our journey towards reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, we are building our understanding of their rights, cultures, interests and aspirations. We aspire to nurture enduring relationships based on respect, meaningful engagement and trust that are mutually beneficial to all.
Our Indigenous Peoples Policy is supported by standards, which help drive consistency in our approach by strengthening our practices to work more constructively with Indigenous, First Nation and Land-Connected Peoples, and enabling Alcoa’s alignment with ICMM’s Indigenous Peoples and Mining Statement.
Our Care for People value is the foundation for our objective to maintain honest and respectful engagement with Indigenous, First Nation and Land-Connected Peoples near our operations and to seek mutually advantageous outcomes. We work towards this by acting in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, the principle of Free, Prior and Informed Consent, and other tenets of the International Labor Organization’s Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Wherever possible, we seek to establish support for new activities from affected Indigenous communities through collaborative accommodation of each other’s interests and formal agreements.
Many of our operations are on or near land that is significant to Indigenous communities. We respect the knowledge and traditions of all Indigenous, First Nation and Land-Connected Peoples around the world.
