Annual Report 2008: Mastering problems

"Record sales and historically high prices for & nbsp; aluminum have been followed by free fall in demand and the price of aluminum to lows for decades. We are experiencing how quickly and how deeply everything can change - and how vital it is to react to it what is happening and not what is hoped for to happen, "writes & nbsp; Eivind, Hydro's CEO and CEO, along with & nbsp; Svein Richard Brandtzæg, who will be President and CEO as of March 30, at the beginning of the annual report, which is now published on the Hydro website.

The reporting for Hydro 2008 consists of three different documents:

1. The central "Annual Report 2008" in English with detailed information about Hydro, business, operating performance, key financial figures, sustainability balance sheet, corporate governance and the financial statement
2. "Financial Statements and Board of Directors' Report - 2008", the & nbsp; pure & nbsp; Mandatory financial report under Norwegian law
3. "2008 - in brief" & nbsp; the compact summary of the results, services and core topics of Hydro. & nbsp; A German translation, & nbsp; "2008 at a glance", & nbsp; is in progress.

How sustainable Hydro has worked and what is to be noted in terms of sustainability is now in the "Annual Report - 2008" as well as further details on the website. & nbsp;
