Rationale for changes: It is impossible to access data from contractors.

|
Percentage of new Alcoa Fjarðaál and Fljótsdalsstöð power station employees who are... No changes at Landsvirkjun Fjarðaál discontinue "East Iceland returnees" |
Rationale for changes:
Alcoa Fjarðaál does not keep numbers regarding East Iceland returnees. Employees in Alcoa Fjarðaál accountable for the indicator propose that the metric will be discontinued. No acceptable definition exists for the metric and therefore it is impossible to maintain such registration systematically.
Fljótsdalsstöð power station has fewer employees and continues to decide which employees are returnees.
This indicator was originally number 12.1. It was then named Employment and can be found under that number in documents of the project from 2005 and 2006.
The indicator number has been changed twice.
| Year | Nr. | Indicator name |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 4.1.3 | Residence of staff |
| 2007 | 1.12 | Employment |
Baseline
| Fljótsdalsstöð (2006 - 2007) | Alcoa Fjarðaál (2010) | |
|---|---|---|
| East Iceland residents | 50% | 52% |
| East Iceland returnees | 33% | Ekki mælt |
| Other living in Iceland | 17% | 47% |
| Other living abroad | 0 | 1% |
Rationale for Indicator Selection
There is a need to preserve and enhance economic diversity in East Iceland. A diverse economy, without over-reliance on one employment sector, is more likely to be stable for the long term. Both employment directly resulting from Alcoa and Landsvirkjun operations, as well as employment indirectly affected by Alcoa and Landsvirkjun, will be monitored. The ratio of Alcoa and Landsvirkjun employment to total local employment is measured to help indicate the degree to which the local communities rely on the projects for economic and employment diversity.
