Alcoa ranked first in Fortune’s most-admired metal companies

A table ranking corporate reputation published by Fortune magazine has named Alcoa jointly the most-admired metals company in the world with ArcelorMittal, the European integrated steel and mining company. The wheel manufacturer received top ranking in sustainability and innovation, which its representatives say is testament to Alcoa’s ongoing leadership in two areas that are key to the success of Alcoa’s business; customers and communities.

“It is extremely gratifying to see Alcoa’s 61,000 employees receive this important recognition for their commitment to excellence and adherence to Alcoa’s values,” said Chairman and CEO Klaus Kleinfeld.

Alcoa has been a member of Fortune’s Most Admired list for 29 consecutive years. The list is based on surveys of executives, directors and analysts who rate companies in their own industry.
