Criticism

Amnesty International alleges that, during the civil war, the company "...pursued a policy of ethnic discrimination, the effects of which continue to be felt, and elements of which continue to be practised" leading the company to "...become a company with an overwhelmingly ethnic Croat workforce". [http://www.business-humanrights.org/Categories/Individualcompanies/A/Aluminij Letter following up the Amnesty International report "Bosnia and Herzegovina - Behind closed gates: ethnic discrimination in employment"] 26 May 2006, quoted by the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, accessed 16 April 2007] .

Aluminij strenuously deny this allegation, saying "Aluminij d.d. Mostar is one of rare " [sic] " companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina which has worked in accordance to the laws and which has completely implemented the same".

Amnesty continue to monitor the company.
