Contrary to popular belief, sustainable development and profitability are not mutually exclusive, our regional economies are not facing inevitable decline, and progress does not have to mean more pollution.

Jacynthe Côté is in an excellent position to tackle these and other myths and paradigms because of her leadership role at Rio Tinto Alcan - an aluminium business which has actively participated in developing various regions of Quebec and elsewhere internationally for almost 100 years, and whose products play an essential role in sustainable development.

For Rio Tinto Alcan, sustainable development is a competitive advantage. Because of its qualified personnel, industry-leading technology and Quebec's abundant supply of clean, renewable hydroelectricity, Rio Tinto Alcan contributes to the province's economic development by producing a metal that is infinitely recyclable at low cost and that contributes to significantly reducing the global transportation sector's environmental footprint.

We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you to this most fascinating luncheon presentation.
