* Numbers corrected from those originally published following data verification
1 Significant spills are incidents which were of a nature to impact the environment or may have concerned local communities
2 Alcan energy use and greenhouse gas emission data is calculated on an equity share rather than on a management control basis
3 Hours used in injury frequency rate calculations are based on reasonable estimates
4 Alcan safety data is not comparable with Rio Tinto's due to differences in data definitions related to restricted work day injuries and contractor statistics
5 Economic data includes contributions from the former Alcan operations during the 69 day post-acquisition period in 2007
'-' indicates the parameter is not applicable or data is not available
