The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) recently released a new certification standard for the aluminum industry value chain, which focuses on the responsible production, responsibility procurement, and corporate governance of the aluminum industry.
ASI's new certification standards cover all stages of the aluminum value chain, including bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminum smelting, aluminum fabrication, aluminum product design and manufacturing, and aluminum recycling.
The Aluminum Management Initiative (ASI) is a non-profit organization that focuses on the management of independent third-party certification projects in the aluminum value chain. The ASI certification program mainly provides for the review of two voluntary standards: ASI performance standards and ASI chain of custody standards.
Among them, ASI's performance standards define environmental, social, and governance principles and standards in order to address sustainability issues in the aluminum value chain; ASI's Chain of Custody (CoC) standard complements ASI performance standards, including ASI aluminum products applied to different downstream areas after production and processing of value chains.
