UC RUSAL SOCIAL INVOLVEMENT IN GUINEA

United Company RUSAL takes an active part in the social life of the countries it operates in and views social investment as a critical element of sustainable development.  We believe that the successful growth of our business should contribute strongly to the prosperity of the region of our presence.

An example of such approach is Guinea , a country that holds a truly special place in the history of our company’s development. Guinea became home to RUSAL’s first foreign project back in 2001 when the company signed an agreement with Guinean government, taking over the management of the Compagnie des Bauxites de Kindia (CBK), a mining complex, developing the world’s largest bauxite deposit. In December 2002, UC RUSAL obtained control over Friguia (ACG), the single alumina refinery in Africa located in Guinea .

Today our logo is well recognised in Guinea . We have become the largest foreign employer in the country. Over the past 7 years the company has repeatedly confirmed its reputation as a reliable, efficient and highly professional company that plays an active role in the country’s social life, contributing to the development of infrastructure, culture, education, sports, youth initiatives and professional education of young specialists.

We realize that successful business requires sustainable environment. That’s why we aim to contribute strongly to the well balanced social and economic development of the countries of our presence. We believe that constructive dialogue between business and society is a path to sustainable future.
