About ASI
The Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global non-profit standard setting and certification organization that brings together producers, users, and stakeholders in the aluminum value chain to maximize the contribution of aluminum to sustainable society. Work together to promote responsible aluminum production, procurement, and management.
The goal of ASI is to:
-Develop globally applicable aluminum value chain sustainable development performance and material regulatory chain standards.
-The key impacts of promoting aluminum production, use, and recycling on the environment, society, and governance can be measured and continuously improved.
-Developing a reliable assurance and certification system can reduce the risk of non-compliance with ASI standards while minimizing obstacles to large-scale implementation.
-Become and continue to be an organization with global value, promoting sustainable development plans for the aluminum value chain, which is financially self-sustaining and inclusive of the interests of stakeholders.
Industry Background
Aluminum has special chemical and physical properties, which are not only lightweight and tough in texture, but also have good ductility, and are widely used in the fields of construction and transportation. At the same time, aluminum is often seen in our daily products (deodorants, makeup creams, etc.) and numerous packaging (canned goods, yogurt caps, etc.). It is an important basic raw material for the development of the national economy.
However, the significant increase in demand for aluminum in recent years has also caused irreversible consequences to the environment, such as alkaline sludge generated during bauxite mining, greenhouse gas emissions or water consumption during processing and manufacturing.
ASI Performance Standard
ASI performance standard define environmental, social, and governance principles and standards aimed at addressing sustainability issues in the aluminum value chain. The standard includes the following content:
Governance: corporate integrity, policies and management, transparency, and material management.
Environment: greenhouse gas emissions, atmospheric pollutants, water pollutants and solid waste, water resource management, biodiversity.
Society: Human rights, labor rights, occupational health and safety.
ASI Members in 'Production and Transformation' and 'Industrial Users' membership classes are required to have some part of their business certified against the ASI Performance Standard within two years of joining ASI.
ASI's standards apply globally and cover all stages of the aluminum value chain: raw aluminum production (including bauxite mining, alumina refining, and aluminum smelting), semi-finished and material conversion processes, recycling, and the use of final products.
