| Abstract Scope |
ASI’s mission is to recognise and collaboratively foster responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. In December 2017, ASI launched its comprehensive certification program for the aluminium value chain, covering both performance and chain of custody. In November 2020, ASI has grown to more than 140 members, and nearly 100 Certifications issued for operations across 34 countries and counting. ASI aims to provide an international benchmark for performance and procurement that covers a wide range of sustainability issues for the aluminium sector, including GHG, biodiversity, human rights and material stewardship. The challenge for all aluminium value chain participants is to tackle impacts and opportunities proactively, so as to maximise the contribution of aluminium to a sustainable society. This presentation will provide an overview of ASI’s mission, its impacts so far, and its forward plans. |
