RUSAL, the metal business of En+ Group, the world's largest producer of low 
carbon aluminium and independent hydropower, is pleased to announce that it has 
concluded partnership agreement with Hodaka, an innovative producer of 
high-quality aluminium alloys, to deliver aluminium products with low carbon 
footprint.

The partnership between RUSAL and Hodaka brings together the technological 
excellence of both companies to create a new generation of products using 
low-carbon aluminium under RUSAL's ALLOW brand. In their operations, both 
companies prioritize sustainable development, compliance with international 
standards, and adherence to the best available production practices.

Founded in 2002 in Taiwan, Hodaka is dedicated to the production of 
high-quality billets and precision extrusions and supplies top-quality 
aluminium alloys for sporting goods, consumer electronics, automotive industry, 
and motorcycle parts. Using RUSAL's low-carbon aluminium, Hodaka's custom-made 
products will enable end users to evaluate and trace the carbon footprint and 
energy source of the source metal. This is key to meet the growing end user 
demand for transparency and eco-friendliness, across automotive, electronics, 
consumer, and sporting goods market segments.

RUSAL's ALLOW brand comes with an average carbon footprint of 2.4 tonnes of CO2 
equivalent per tonne of aluminium produced (direct and indirect energy 
emissions from aluminium smelters are taken into account). This is in line with 
the evolving market requirement for low-carbon aluminium of no more than 4 
tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of aluminium produced. The global average is 
around 12.5 tonnes. Every shipment of ALLOW comes with independently verified 
carbon footprint statements from its smelter of origin, providing full 
traceability to source for customers.

Lord Barker, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of En+ Group, said: 

"I am delighted that RUSAL is continuing to partner with innovative companies 
such as Hodaka. We are working to decarbonise the aluminium industry from the 
front and recently announced our commitment to reduce emissions by at least 35% 
by 2030, reaching net zero by 2050. This will involve the whole value chain, 
from initial bauxite mining through to alumina melting leading to minimal, 
ultimately zero, emissions in the final products reaching consumers."
