Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest aluminium smelter ex-China, unveiled its fifth edition of the Sustainability Report prepared following Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards: Core Option.

In the 2020 edition of the Sustainability Report, Deloitte & Touche (ME) has provided independent-limited assurance on Alba’s Sustainability Report’s compliance with the GRI Standards and the preparation of 3 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Total Indirect Energy Consumption (GJ), Total Direct Energy Consumption (GJ) and Environmental Investment (BD).

The report ‘Building the New Norm As We Celebrate Alba’s Golden Jubilee of Operations’ provides detailed insights on the environmental and socio-economic performance and sustainability initiatives that have been implemented across Alba’s operations for the period 01 January to 31 December 2020.

Commenting on the 2020 Sustainability Report, Alba’s Chief Executive Officer, Ali Al Baqali, said: “Communicating what we do is what makes us strong.

Reporting on our ESG performance is our way of sharing with our various stakeholders what matters for Alba.

Alba was one of the earliest companies in the Middle East region to voluntarily disclose its ESG performance through its first Sustainability Report in 2016.”

The 2020 Sustainability Report was also reviewed by GRI Content Index – Corporate Core Option.
