Aluminum Management Initiative (ASI), is an initiative of leading players in the sector that aims to promote sustainability in the aluminium value chain. Both aluminium producers and industries that use this material can benefit from ASI certification by demonstrating their commitment to social, environmental and ethical standards.
Aluminum and Sustainability
Aluminium is a material with unique properties that plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable economy. Its lightweight structure, infinite recyclability and durability offer significant advantages, especially in reducing environmental impact. However, aluminium production is an energy-intensive process and has a significant environmental impact on the planet. Therefore, elements such as greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption and waste management must be carefully considered during production.
ASI Certification: Assurance of Sustainability
The ASI certification process ensures that aluminum is produced and processed responsibly. Manufacturing companies and processing industries can earn this certification by meeting the highest environmental, social and ethical standards, demonstrating their commitment to environmental and social responsibility.
Who is it valid for?
ASI standards can be applied across the entire value chain, from bauxite mining, the raw material for aluminum, to smelting, refining and material conversion processes. In addition, industrial users who use aluminum intensively, such as automotive and packaging, can also comply with these standards.
ASI Performance Standard Certification
The ASI Performance Standard covers critical environmental and social issues affecting the aluminium value chain. Certification demonstrates that companies act responsibly by taking into account sensitivities in the following areas:
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Reducing carbon footprint and combating climate change.
- Waste Management: Minimizing waste generation in production processes and increasing recycling.
- Materials Management: Preventing waste by using resources efficiently.
- Biodiversity: To minimize the impact of activities such as bauxite mining on natural ecosystems.
- Human rights: Respecting workers' rights and developing responsible relationships with local communities.
