TOKYO, Dec. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

En+ Group, the world's leading producer of low carbon aluminium and largest

private sector generator of hydropower, is pleased to announce that RUSAL,

company of the Group's metal segment, has become a member of the JCLP, a

powerful coalition of businesses seeking to advance the goals of

decarbonisation and sustainable business.

RUSAL is proud to join the 163 companies of the JCLP, and contribute to its

important work, which focuses on the communication of business trends,

innovations and analysis for a low-carbon, and ultimately a carbon free,

future. The JCLP's focus on integrating climate change efforts into core

business practices and strategies aligns with the goals of RUSAL, and the

company is excited to embark on this partnership, and contribute to its aims.

The admission of En+ Group's company into the JCLP also represents an important

step for low-carbon aluminium, as a material that is sustainably produced and

which can power Japan's economy as it builds a sustainable economy which can

deliver upon the Government's 2050 Net Zero emissions Target. RUSAL's

membership of the JCLP can serve to highlight the crucial role played by

sustainable producers of low-carbon aluminium, and raise awareness of the

availability of this vital material so heavily relied upon in industries such

as the automotive, construction and packaging.

Ayumi Murakami, Representative Director of the RUSAL's office in Tokyo,

commented: "I am pleased that RUSAL has joined the JCLP. RUSAL supports the

Partnership's important work and is delighted to be able to contribute to its

efforts. We are pleased to see low-carbon aluminium recognized as an important

facet of decarbonisation ambitions and hope that membership of the JCLP will

further promote the use of aluminium produced in a sustainable way that

minimizes emissions. RUSAL would like to thank the JCLP for its support, and

looks forward to working as part of a business coalition for the achievement of

a zero-emissions Japan."
