Alba, one of the world’s largest aluminium smelters, announced that it has achieved the pinnacle of sustainability recognition – the EcoVadis Platinum Rating.

This prestigious distinction from EcoVadis, a world-renowned provider of business sustainability assessments, places Alba among the elite 1% of companies evaluated worldwide.

This remarkable accomplishment marks the culmination of Alba's unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.

Just three years ago, Alba embarked on this journey with a Bronze Rating, followed by a Silver Rating in 2023.

This continuous improvement demonstrates a deep-rooted sustainability strategy driving positive change.

“We are incredibly honoured to receive the EcoVadis Platinum Rating,” said Alba's Chief Executive Officer, Ali Al Baqali.

“This recognition serves as a powerful validation of our relentless pursuit of sustainable practices. Environmental and social impact are paramount to our growth strategy, and we remain firm in our mission to be an eco-friendly smelter, contributing to a greener Bahrain and a more sustainable world."

Further, to celebrate Alba’s achievement, EcoVadis will plant a tree through their partnership with One Tree Planted – an environmental non-profit tree planting charity that plant trees in countries around the world.
