How does Alcoa establish dialogue with the community?
Various communication instruments were created that make dialogue feasible with the local population, including communities that are sparsely located in the rural areas. There is the “Dialogue with the Community” program, which provides clarification talks on various subjects, covering how the Juruti Mine construction work is progressing and the activities of the PCAs and the Positive Agenda. With the “Visit of the Community” program local residents can get to know the Juruti Mine building work, accompanied by professionals from the construction and environment areas, who are able to clarify people’s doubts and receive their suggestions. Furthermore, a radio program (Sintonia) goes on the air once a week, on Saturday, in Juruti, Santarem and Oriximiná, giving information about the Company’s initiatives. The Reference Center, na Office located in the Center of Juruti, is the main focus for attending to the demands of the community. Alcoa also forms part of the Sustainable Juruti Council
