Recommendation

If you work in the aluminum industry, you probably know it’s seen a decade of stagnation due to circumstances mostly beyond the industry’s control. There is, however, one factor that’s firmly under the control of aluminum companies, and that’s the push for lowered emissions and a greener industry altogether. Consumers are clamoring for greener products, and with carbon taxation on the horizon, the companies that win the next stage will be green. This special report from the Boston Consulting Group offers tips to help aluminum companies keep up with consumer, investor and government appetite for greener production and manufacturing. 

Take-Aways

  • Aluminum industry demand and production are up, but prices, profitability and shareholder returns are down.
  • Emissions are a strong concern for aluminum industry investors and consumers.
  • Governments in Europe and the United States will likely impose carbon taxation, and greener aluminum companies will benefit.
