[DOC] Backgrounder: The Utkal Project

Among other amenities, the [Utkal] Project includes a residential worker’s community, new school, new medical and water treatment facilities... [Alcan] believes that given its recognized standards in the area of sustainability, its participation would bring added value to the local community and region... Alcan has not yet made an investment decision to participate. The Company’s decision will be based on whether or not it believes the Project would meet its standards of sustainability from an economic, social and environmental perspective. [also refers to Hindalco (part of Aditya Birla)]
