Focus on making modern life possible and generating value from mining to metal
Emirates Global Aluminium, the largest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas, today announced its newly-defined corporate purpose: Together, innovating aluminium to make modern life possible, the company revealed in a recent press statement.
By fulfilling its purpose in the years and decades to come, EGA will also achieve its new mission—to generate value from mining to metal.
EGA is the world’s largest producer of ‘premium aluminium’, with smelters in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, an alumina refinery in Abu Dhabi, and a bauxite mine and export facilities in the Republic of Guinea.
“Becoming an organisation united by a single purpose will enable us to further improve our performance and generate value for our shareholders,” remarked Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, CEO, EGA.
In the generation since, EGA has taken the UAE from a country that produced no aluminium to the fifth largest aluminium-producing nation in the world.
EGA, and the aluminium industry around it, today accounts for 1.4 per cent of the UAE’s economy and 1-in-100 UAE jobs.
