Make an Impact
 
 
In a first for Australian industry, Alcoa and Greening Australia have partnered to develop a greenhouse footprint reduction program for the families of Alcoa employees and their immediate communities.
 
Known as Make an Impact, the program includes access to a greenhouse calculator and a online energy centre featuring a range of tips on how to lower energy and water consumption and more effectively manage waste.
 
Australian households generate almost one-fifth of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions through everyday activities. This bold initiative, teamed with employee commitment, will empower local households to address climate change – and find local solutions to this very important global issue.
 
The Make an Impact program is supported by the Australian Greenhouse Office and was officially launched in June 2006 by Alcoa General Manager Environment Health and Safety, Kim Horne and Victorian Parliamentary Secretary to the Environment, Elaine Carbines. 
 
The program has been embraced by employees at all of Alcoa's operations in Victoria, NSW and WA.
