Alcoa’s value and future growth are rooted
in a unique combination of resources –
exceptional people, proprietary technologies,
natural resources, strategic alliances,
and a global network of world-class plants
and equipment.
13
For decades, Alcoa has built up a unique portfolio of select
tangible and intangible assets across the globe.
Managed from an ethos of stewardship, these assets extend from
mineral deposits and energy resources that communities and
countries have entrusted to us for development, to intellectual
properties and strategic alliances nurtured over many years.
Alcoa has been able to capitalize on the global trend to privatize,
often becoming a preferred bidder on government-owned assets
because of our reputation for cultural sensitivity, values-driven
management, and community involvement.
Our in-house development of intellectual properties has helped to
make Alcoa not only a preferred supplier but also the preferred
employer for innovators seeking to practice in an atmosphere of
freedom and technological energy.
These and other strategic assets represent the underlying, often
overlooked, value in Alcoa and will serve as the engine for our
future growth for decades to come.
