Alcoa is the world’s leader in aluminium smelting capacity, and the world’s second largest producer of aluminium, alumina production and capacity.

It is Alcoa’s aim to ensure the communities where Alcoa operates have networks that create opportunities for people, institutions and business to participate more fully in the economic, social and cultural areas of that community. Alcoa believes that stronger communities lead to the development of productive partnerships, the integration and coordination of services, local solutions to local problems and to the creation of a more positive future.

Each year Alcoa supports hundreds of organisations on community projects aimed at strengthening the community.

The Alcoa Child Health Partnership was launched in 2005 and reflects Alcoa’s ongoing commitment to build stronger communities.

The Partnership supports Professor Fiona Stanley AC and the Institute’s population-based researchers in a major research project looking at early determinants of child health and development. Alcoa’s support greatly strengthens the capacity of the Institute in both research and advocacy.
