proof of our commitment to deliver on our ambitious roadmap to reduce our
greenhouse gas emissions and increase our recycling of post-consumer scrap.
These are key pillars to deliver on our strategy of strengthening our position
in low-carbon aluminium and maintaining our strong competitive industry
position. Interest from investors has been very strong and we have accomplished
competitive terms given current market conditions," says CFO Pål Kildemo.
