STRATEGY

UC RUSAL is the world’s largest aluminium producer, which integrated assets in 19 countries across five continents. The strategy of UC RUSAL ensures the Company’s sustainable development making the best use of its competitive advantages.

Our Company is the leader in the global aluminium industry, and amidst the current conditions on world’s markets we intend to maintain our market share and steady footing supported by our own know-how, proprietary technologies, vast geography of operations and professionalism of our staff. The complete independence from any external source of raw materials supply will guarantee unshakable stability of our production. Our in-house diversified energy generation allows continuous power supplies to our aluminium smelters. Efficiency improvement programmes which are currently underway on our sites make the Company’s costs one of the lowest in the industry. With its leading positions in the aluminium sector UC RUSAL understands that it is vital to achieve the balance between supply and demand, and is now taking the required measures to alleviate the pressure on alumina and aluminium markets and restore the aluminium prices. To this end, UC RUSAL is seeking an optimal, or reduced, production output at the aluminium and alumina operations, which are not cost-attractive in today’s market conditions. Cutting its costs on one side, the Company is maintaining the production level of its most effective aluminium smelters with good environmental performance.

In today’s reality, the company believes that the most important is to cooperate with the end-users of UC RUSAL’s products, search for new areas of application for aluminium, create new products, be flexible in meeting customers’ requests and improve the quality of our operations.

The implementation of the strategic plans depends on the staff of UC RUSAL. Retention of competent, well-trained, professional and ambitious employees who share the Company’s values is one of our main strategic tasks today as we are conducting the optimisations dictated by the conditions in the industry today.

Coordinated measures taken by the Management in cooperation with other market players, financial institutions and the Government will help in balancing and adjusting the market and overcome the crisis with minimal losses and consequences for the aluminium industry clearing the way for subsequent long-term development plans focused on expanding UC RUSAL’s global presence and further business diversification.
