Norsk Hydro ASA

In 1905, Hydro was founded in Norway with a bold vision to turn waterfalls into fertilizer to feed a starving world. The company built Europe's largest hydropower plant at Notodden and established the world's first industrial nitrogen fixation facility, demonstrating how human creativity could harness nature's resources. This founding spark established Hydro as a pioneer in renewable energy and industrial innovation, setting the stage for more than a century of transformation.

Today, Hydro has evolved into a leading aluminium and renewable energy company committed to creating more viable societies. With 32,000 employees across more than 140 locations in 40 countries, the company covers the entire value chain of aluminium - from raw material extraction to developing sustainable solutions for the future. Hydro's purpose-driven approach combines responsible production with circular solutions, aiming to deliver net-zero aluminium by 2050 or earlier while pioneering the green transition through renewable energy and innovative technologies.
