Information on ASI Certification

The Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is an industry-led initiative that aims to promote sustainability throughout the aluminum value chain. Both the aluminum industry and aluminum users benefit from ASI certification by demonstrating their commitment to social, environmental and ethical standards.

Demonstrate environmental, ethical and social commitment

Increase supply chain transparency

Meet expectations of sustainability-conscious customers

Stand out from competing products

Aluminum and sustainability

Aluminum has very special properties that make it a great resource for transitioning to a sustainable economy - these include its light weight and excellent recyclability. At the same time, however, aluminum production has a significant impact on the planet that needs to be managed and mitigated.

The ASI certification process enables producers and processing industries to credibly demonstrate that they are taking into account the highest environmental, social and ethical standards.

For whom?

ASI standards can be applied across the aluminum value chain, from bauxite mining to smelting, refining and material transformation. Industrial users such as the automotive and packaging sectors can also apply the standards.

ASI Performance Standard Certification

The ASI Performance Standard covers critical aspects that affect the entire aluminum value chain including greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, material stewardship, biodiversity and human rights.

ASI Chain of Custody Standard Certification

The ASI Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard complements the ASI Performance Standard and is voluntary for ASI members. The CoC Standard includes requirements for establishing a chain of custody for ASI certified aluminum. This allows further production and processing to be controlled through the value chain.

Process

In preparation for the audit, companies are required to answer a series of questions to determine their current status.

This risk-based assessment determines the extent to which the requirements of the standard are met. The assessment is performed by a recognized DQS auditor.

The auditor will prepare an audit report and make it available to both you and ASI. If any deviations have occurred, you will receive a detailed corrective action plan.

When all discrepancies have been corrected, ASI will review the audit report and issue the certificate. Your company will be listed on the ASI website from that point forward.

Surveillance and recertification audits are conducted by DQS and ensure continued compliance with the ASI standard.
