Aluminium Stewardship Initiative

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global, multi-stakeholder non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible production, sourcing, and stewardship of aluminium. Established in 2012, ASI aims to foster sustainability within the aluminium industry by developing standards that address environmental, social, and governance issues.

Through its certification program, ASI provides a framework for companies to demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices. The initiative brings together stakeholders from across the aluminium value chain, including producers, users, and civil society organizations, to collaborate on best practices and share knowledge.

ASI’s core activities include:

• Standard Development: Creating comprehensive standards that cover various aspects of sustainability in aluminium production.
• Certification: Offering a robust certification process that allows companies to validate their adherence to ASI standards.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Facilitating dialogue among industry players, NGOs, and other stakeholders to promote transparency and accountability.
• Capacity Building: Providing resources and training to help companies implement sustainable practices effectively.

With a vision to transform the aluminium sector into a leader in sustainability, ASI is committed to continuous improvement and innovation. The organization believes that by working collaboratively, the aluminium industry can significantly reduce its environmental impact while enhancing social responsibility.

In addition to its certification program, ASI actively engages in advocacy and awareness-raising efforts to highlight the importance of sustainability in aluminium production. By aligning with global sustainability goals, ASI seeks to position aluminium as a material of choice for a sustainable future.
