The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global non-profit standards setting and certification organisation which collaborates with producers, users and stakeholders in the aluminium value chain to promote the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. ASI’s vision, is to maximise aluminium’s contribution to a sustainable society.

ASI seeks to:

  • set globally applicable standards for sustainability performance and material chain-of-custody for the aluminium value chain
  • promote measurable and continual improvements in the key environmental, social and governance impacts of aluminium production, use and recycling
  • develop a credible assurance and certification system that reduces the risks of non-conformity with ASI standards and minimises barriers to broad scale implementation
  • become and remain a globally valued organisation promoting programmes for sustainability in the aluminium value chain, which is financially self-sustaining and inclusive of stakeholder interests

Every year, the ASI Board updates its strategic plan that frames ASI’s activities under four pillars: effective governance, credible programme, growing membership, financial resilience.

ASI’s strategy is based on an understanding of the big picture challenges facing the aluminium value chain. These long-term, structural issues and challenges – such as climate action and risks, the circular economy, ESG in financing, resource pressures – are the landscape and wider horizon in which ASI seeks to drive and contribute to positive change and transformation.

The ASI provides a fine example of how an industry sector can, through standards setting and certification, generate value for all its stakeholders with respect to sustainability.  Tweet This! In this way, through a multi-stakeholder cooperation, it is possible to effectively identify and address key risks and sustainability challenges, such as – in the case of the aluminium industry – greenhouse gas emissions.

Can other sectors and industries achieve such multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration, building partnerships to drive sustainable production and address vital sustainability issues across their value chains?
