ALUCOAT renews its sponsorship with the Cástulo Archery Club

ALUCOAT has renewed its commitment to local sports by once again supporting the Cástulo Archery Club of Linares (Jaén). This collaboration reinforces ALUCOAT’s dedication to promoting values such as effort, discipline, and teamwork through sports activities.

As part of this partnership, the Cástulo Archery Club, together with the Andalusian Archery Federation, recently organized the Andalusian Clout Archery Championship. The event brought together 32 archers from 13 clubs across the Andalusian region in Linares, consolidating the city as a benchmark in this discipline.

This type of initiative generates a positive impact on the community by promoting healthy habits, energizing local life, and bringing sports closer to young people and families in the region.

With this renewal, ALUCOAT reaffirms its support for sports initiatives that foster talent and strengthen the social and cultural life of Linares and all of Andalusia.

ALUCOAT collaborates one more year with the Brotherhood of Nuestra Señora de Linarejos

From June 7th to 15th, the city of Linares (Jaén) celebrated the Festivities in honor of the Virgen de Linarejos Coronada, the Patron Saint of the city. This is a highly anticipated event for the local community and deeply rooted in local tradition.

Among the traditional activities, the emblematic Dolls Raffle organized by the Brotherhood of “Nuestra Señora de Linarejos” stands out, marking the beginning of the festivities.

ALUCOAT Joins the United Nations Global Compact

ALUCOAT, a leading company in aluminium coating, has taken a significant step by joining the United Nations Global Compact. This global initiative promotes the adoption of responsible business principles in key areas such as human rights, decent work, environmental protection, and the fight against corruption.

With this commitment, ALUCOAT reinforces its dedication to sustainability and social responsibility. ALUCOAT will integrate the ten principles of the Global Compact, along with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), into its corporate strategy and operations. This includes implementing best practices throughout the aluminium value chain, developing environmentally friendly products, continuously improving operational processes to reduce its ecological footprint, integrating labour policies that ensure employee well-being, and advancing as a responsible and transparent company aligned with the highest sustainability standards.

Joining the Global Compact also opens new opportunities for ALUCOAT, such as access to a global network of collaboration with other companies, NGOs, and governments, as well as benefiting from educational resources and specialised tools to further integrate sustainability into its operations. Moreover, this commitment strengthens ALUCOAT’s reputation among customers, investors, and stakeholders, positioning the company as a benchmark in innovation, efficiency, and responsibility within the industrial sector.

ALUCOAT advances on its path to green transition with solar energy

ALUCOAT reaffirms its commitment to sustainability by installing 1,726 solar panels at its factory in Linares (Jaén), making steady progress toward an increasingly green industry.

The installation has a capacity of 949.30 kW and will ensure that 21.4% of the plant’s energy consumption comes from renewable sources.

This project will have a significant environmental impact, equivalent to avoiding the emission of 350 tons of CO2 per year and the planting of 700 trees. It is part of the company’s global strategy to significantly reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to climate change mitigation.

With this investment, ALUCOAT demonstrates its commitment to the environment, people, and the future, fostering a cleaner and more efficient industrial model. The integration of renewable energy not only reduces emissions but also strengthens the company’s social and environmental responsibility, generating a positive impact for current and future generations.

With this initiative, ALUCOAT highlights the adoption of sustainable practices within the industrial sector, showing that industry and sustainability go hand in hand in building a greener and more responsible future for all.

ALUCOAT certifies in Aluminium Stewardship Initiative ASI, its commitment to sustainability in the aluminium value chain.

ALUCOAT is very pleased to obtain the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Certification for Performance Standard (V3 2022) as a commitment to improve sustainability throughout the aluminium value chain, all our stakeholders, and with SDG 17 Partnerships for the goals.

ASI is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain, setting 59 criteria under the three pillars of sustainability: Environment, Social and Governance.

ALUCOAT is in the process of implementing improvements focused on the sustainability priorities proposed by ASI in their strategy (2030-2050) such as:

• Climate change, where aluminium accounts for around 2% of CO₂ eq global emissions. It is required an aluminium sector aligned with 1.5°C and therefore a low carbon aluminium. ALUCOAT, as part of its commitment to SDG 13 Climate Action, calculates the Carbon Footprint (Scope 1 and 2) and increases the percentage of recycled aluminium in its products. It also has solar panels installed and ISO 50001 certification, contributing to the reduction of Greenhouse Gas emissions.

• Circularity, where aluminium is 100% recyclable and experiences no loss of properties or quality during the recycling process. To achieve this, ALUCOAT focuses on aluminium utilization measures, reducing raw material consumption. ALUCOAT also implements sustainable water management and carries out segregation and separation by aluminIum alloys. All of these efforts are highlighted by the recent attainment of the Zero Waste Certificate. These actions align with SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation, SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, and SDG 12 Responsible Production and Consumption.
• Positive nature, improving the resilience of our planet and our societies in aspects of ecosystems, habitats, species and biodiversity. Where measures such as sustainable water management and the commitment to increasing the use of recycled aluminium, as opposed to extracting primary aluminium, are related to SDG 14 Life Below Water and SDG 15 Life on Land.
• Human rights, as a broad and cross-cutting issue throughout the supply chain. ALUCOAT promotes respect for human rights in new industrial projects and significant organizational changes, community development, workers’ rights, and occupational health and safety management with its ISO 45001 certification. This aligns with SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities.
