RUSAL gets recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project as a global leader in the Aluminium sector

RUSAL, one of the world’s major producers of aluminium has been identified as a global leader for engaging with its suppliers on climate change by the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) Supplier Engagement Leader board.

Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a global non-profit that runs the world’s leading environmental disclosure platform.

The high CDP rating is further evidence of RUSAL’s successful efforts to reduce emissions, manage climate risks and ensure transparent communications in this area.

CDP evaluated companies that are actively involved in working with their suppliers to reduce their impact on the environment. Out of the 4,800 companies that were assessed, RUSAL was amongst the 160 corporations on the leader-board this year and the first aluminium company in the world to get such a high rating.

RUSAL’s CEO Evgenii Nikitin said “RUSAL has been consistent in efforts to execute its long-term strategy in addressing the issues of climate change. As a result, the carbon footprint of our products is one of the lowest in the world”.

He also added: “We are honoured that these achievements are acknowledged on an international level. When working with such a large number of suppliers of electricity, fuel, raw materials and others, RUSAL implements its Business Partner Code and a list of requirements for the suppliers which include environmental and social risks related to the supply chain and quality standards which meet the best international practices”.
