At Emirates Global Aluminium our purpose is Together, innovating aluminium to make modern life possible. One way we make modern life possible for the societies in which we operate – the United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Guinea — is by driving sustainable economic growth.
Our bold aspiration is to double our absolute contribution to the economies of the countries in which we operate by 2040, and steadily improve the quality of our contribution.
In the UAE, EGA is the heart of a broader aluminium sector which generates over $5 billion annually in the economy. This is approximately 1.4 per cent of the total UAE economy.
In Guinea, the construction of our Guinea Alumina Corporation project was one of the largest greenfield investments in the country in the past four decades. In operation, GAC employs around 3,000 people and over 94 per cent of the workforce is Guinean.
We intend to grow our own business, increase local procurement, supply local customers in the UAE with metal, and further localise our workforce.
