Alcan Inc. announced today that it has joined the World Economic Forum's (WEF) Global Greenhouse Gas Register, an initiative to stimulate the disclosure and management by companies of their world-wide climate emissions. The decision follows another impressive year for both Alcan and Pechiney greenhouse gas (GHG) programs, as both exceeded their reduction objectives for 2003.
"Joining the WEF's greenhouse gas register underlines the importance of global accountability in Alcan's commitment to the environment," said Travis Engen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alcan Inc. "The success of our GHG reduction programs further solidify Alcan's pledge to be a leader in environmental and sustainability issues," he added.
Developed in partnership with leading international business and environmental organizations, the register aims to spur voluntary corporate climate action around the world by creating a global standard for the disclosure of emissions inventories and reduction targets.
