3. 3 © 2007 ALCAN INC A Strategic Approach to Climate Change Alcan’s proactive and progressive approach to the reduction of GHG emissions has been driven by a “win-win” philosophy – driven by a sustainability approach. Alcan’s strategy includes: Continued reduction in process-related GHG emissions Development of new technologies Promoting the use of aluminium as a contributor to reduce GHG emissions through product lifecycle Engagement in the development of a global policy framework

4. 4 © 2007 ALCAN INC Alcan recognized early the need to tackle GHG emissions Smelter emissions - Worldwide comparison 1990 to 2006: Total smelter emissions (direct + indirect) reduced by 25% Production increased by 35% Intensity decreased by 45% 2006-2010 objective to further reduce direct GHG intensity by 10% Already in 2000 Alcan launched its first TARGET program, a company-wide greenhouse gas management program TARGET includes reduction objectives
