This dedication has spanned decades. In Poços de Caldas (MG), where CBA has been operating for over 80 years, this endeavor is carried out through various projects that encompass environmental education, waste management and reclamation of mined areas.

We support investments in social projects in our region and intensify efforts to maintain a good relationship with the community," adds Alexis.   About CBA Founded in 1955, Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio - CBA is a vertically integrated producer, from cradle to gate.
