Business Wire
Alcoa Corporation, a global leader in bauxite, alumina and
aluminum, today announced that its portfolio of bauxite mines and
alumina refineries in Western Australia have received certification
from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI).
ASI’s Performance Standard certification process requires a
comprehensive, third-party audit, which was completed successfully
at the Huntly and Willowdale bauxite mines and the Kwinana,
Pinjarra, and Wagerup alumina refineries.
ASI is a global sustainability certification program for the
aluminum industry, representing both upstream producers and
downstream manufacturers, with participation from a broad spectrum
of civil society organizations.
“This recognition validates the strong commitment we have to
responsible and sustainable production and to working with our
stakeholders to deliver long-term value,” said Michelle O’Neill,
Alcoa’s Executive Vice President and Chief External Affairs
Officer. “It is additional evidence of our commitment to advance
sustainably, one of our strategic priorities and a key
differentiator for our future.”
In total, Alcoa now has nine locations in four countries
certified to ASI’s Performance Standard with additional locations
undergoing the review process. The Company was also named the
Aluminum Industry Leader in the latest edition of the Dow Jones
Sustainable Indices (DJSI).
Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We are
delighted to congratulate Alcoa on their latest certifications for
these Western Australian operations. ASI’s 2018 Annual General
Meeting participants were fortunate to have had the opportunity to
visit the Huntly Mine and Pinjarra Refinery operations, so it is a
pleasure to see these facilities achieve ASI Certification.”
