For Alumina Limited responsible environmental management of the AWAC joint venture is a prerequisite for business sustainability.
We believe that through effective and responsible environmental stewardship, society will continue to provide natural resources for alumina and aluminium production.
AWAC’s operations are inherently resource intensive so minimising the end-to-end life-cycle impact of alumina and aluminium production is essential.
We focus attention on areas with the greatest material impact including land management and rehabilitation, energy, water, waste and emissions. Process diagram
