Alba celebrates Bahrain's robust growth on National Day
MANAMA, 5 days ago
Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), the world’s largest smelter on one site, marked the Anniversary of the Kingdom’s National Day and His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa’s Accession to the throne at the HRH Princess Sabeeka’s Oasis in Alba.
A cornerstone of the Bahrain’s economy, Alba produces high-quality aluminium, including standard and value-added products, which are exported to over 270 customers globally.
At plus-1.62 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) (2023), Alba is a world-leading aluminium smelter with a proud 50-year legacy in operational excellence, safety, environmental responsibility, and community development.
As the first aluminium smelter in the Middle East, Alba is central to Bahrain's thriving downstream aluminium sector, contributing significantly to the Kingdom's GDP.
Committed to social responsibility, Alba employs a workforce that is 86% Bahrainis (2023) and invests heavily in employee training and development.
The aluminium also plays a crucial role in the Aluminium Downstream Park, therefore increasing the contribution of non-oil sectors to the GDP of Bahrain.
Alba has been recognised for its initiatives to produce Aluminium responsibly through awards such as Top ESG performer in Bahrain by ESG Invest, Safeguard Label from Bureau Veritas and Best Corporate Governance Award by Ethical Boardroom.
Recognised for its environmental practices, social contributions, and corporate governance, Alba launched a comprehensive ESG Roadmap in 2022 focusing on 6 priority areas: (1) Decarbonisation, (2) Green Energy & Aluminium, (3) Circular Economy & Secondary Aluminium, (4) Employee Welfare, (5) Collaboration & Partnership and (6) Transparency, Communications & Due Diligence.
Attended by Alba’s Executives, Directors, Managers and employees, the celebration featured various activities, including a photo booth, Arabian hospitality, performance by a traditional Bahraini band, as well as live cooking of traditional food and sweets.
On this occasion, Alba premises were decorated with the colours of the Bahraini flag, creating a patriotic ambiance throughout the company.-TradeArabia News Service
