We dedicate resources -- both financial and people -- to continually improve our operations and practices so that we may better:
- Prevent workplace accidents and injuries

Measured Performance
Safety Improvements
The keys to meeting these and other Aleris commitments are the dedication of the company’s management, along with employee involvement, in leading these efforts. We are proud of our employees and their focus on improving and maintaining a safe work environment. Through their efforts, our Company’s average recordable and lost time injuries have been reduced by 71 percent and 68 percent, respectively.
Energy Reduction
Conserving energy benefits Aleris, our customers and the environment. Providing metal to our customers in molten form reduces the amount of energy required to re-melt metal. Additionally, improving energy efficiency allows Aleris to reduce consumption of natural resources, which reduces our costs. Since 2004, we have reduced natural gas consumption by more than 7 percent.
Product Stewardship
Aleris provides customers, contractors, and transporters with information to ensure that our products can be distributed, used, recycled, and disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.
