How are the socio-environmental investments in made the Juruti Mine used?
As part of its legal obligations to the licensing body, Alcoa has embarked upon 35 programs within its Environmental Control Plans (PCAs), for which it has made available funds of some R$ 30 million. The PCAs are divided into programs relating to the physical environment, the biotic environment, the socio-economic environment and managerial plans. Also on-going are various complementary activities that are of direct benefit to the population via the Positive Agenda, to which R$ 50 million have been allocated. The proposal of the Positive Agenda, which was jointly prepared with the Juruti Town Administration, is to bring about improvements in the quality of life through investments in rural and urban infrastructure, health, education, culture, the environment, public security and social assistance.
