This year, several regions in
the world faced energy crises
that significantly impacted the
aluminum industry. Decreased
production capacity in China
resulted in lower supply and
consequent changes in market
dynamics. On the other hand,
the search for lighter and more
sustainable materials caused
an increase in demand. This
dynamic raised aluminum prices,
offsetting the general increase
in the price of energy, one of
the main production inputs.
As an energy self-sufficient,
integrated company (operating
in bauxite mining, production
of primary and transformed
aluminum, and recycling
activities), CBA was able to
mitigate the cost increases
during the year. Aluminum
prices on the London Metal
Exchange ended the year
at US$2,806.00 per tonne,
with an annual average of
US$2,480.00 per tonne. As
a result, the company's net
revenue was R$8.4 billion
in 2021, a 56% increase
compared with the previous
year. Adjusted EBITDA was
R$1.7 billion, 221% higher than
in 2020.
CBA's growth strategy, which
includes increasing its energy
efficiency and advancing its
sustainability agenda, will
require important investments
in the coming years. To finance
this strategy in a sustainable
manner, the company held its
IPO on B3 in July and entered
the Novo Mercado segment,
which includes corporations
that are committed to the
highest standards of corporate
governance. The operation
raised R$1.6 billion, of which
R$700.0 million will be
invested in organic growth and
potential strategic acquisitions
in the coming years. The fact
that sustainability is at the
core of CBA's strategy was
a determining factor for the
success of the IPO.
CBA's 2030 ESG strategy is
based on 10 priority topics:
four environmental, two social,
three in the area of governance,
and one crosscutting topic that
affects all business areas: ESG
communication. The company
has 15 programs planned,
with objectives to be achieved
by 2030, broken down into
corporate ESG targets linked
to the variable compensation
of employees at all levels. With
the goal of ensuring the supply
of low-carbon aluminum and
offering sustainable solutions,
CBA also develops the
communities where it operates
and positively influences the
entire aluminum value chain.
