The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) promotes continuous improvement in the environmental and social impact of aluminum production, use and recycling. By adopting ASI standards, companies can demonstrate responsible aluminum sourcing practices, improve sustainability performance and promote consumer and stakeholder confidence. LiberoAssurance is among the few certification bodies worldwide to offer accredited certification to ASI.
The ASI Performance and Chain of Custody Standards have been developed and designed to be globally applied, and throughout the aluminium value chain to:
- enable the aluminium industry to demonstrate responsibility and provide independent and credible assurance of performance;
- reinforce and promote consumer and stakeholder confidence in aluminium products;
- reduce reputational risks concerning aluminium and aluminium industry players; and
- address the expressed needs by downstream industrial users and consumers for responsible sourcing of aluminium.
ASI’s standards are applicable to all stages of aluminium production and transformation, specifically: bauxite mining, alumina refining, primary aluminium production, semi-fabrication (rolling, extrusion, forging and foundry), material conversion, and refining and re-melting of recycled scrap, as well as material stewardship criteria relevant to downstream users of aluminium.
