Alcoa Earns New Certifications From the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) at Three Additional Locations in Europe
December 09 2020 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Alcoa Corporation today announced that three more of its
operating locations have earned certifications from the Aluminium
Stewardship Initiative (ASI), the industry’s most comprehensive
system for third-party validation of sustainable manufacturing
processes.
The latest facilities to earn the Performance Standard
certification include the Fjarðaál smelter in Iceland, the Lista
smelter in Norway, and the San Ciprián refinery in Spain.
The Company now has earned Performance Standard certifications
for 13 sites, including three bauxite mines, five alumina
refineries, and five aluminum smelters and casthouses.
Also, ASI recently added additional Alcoa sites that are covered
by the organization’s Chain of Custody (CoC) standard, which
enables the Company to market products with ASI’s certification.
The CoC scope now includes all of the Company’s bauxite mines in
Western Australia and Brazil, all of the alumina refineries in
Western Australia and the Alumar refinery in Brazil, and the
aluminum smelters and casthouses at Mosjøen (Iceland), Lista
(Norway), Baie-Comeau (Canada), and Fjarðaál (Iceland).
The Chain of Custody (CoC) certification and its performance
standards provide independent, third-party validation and
traceability of responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of
aluminum.
“Alcoa has a strategic priority to advance sustainably, which
includes financial, environmental and social outcomes, and our
progress toward validating responsible production is a reflection
of our commitment,” said Rosa García Pineiro, Vice President of
Sustainability for Alcoa. “We congratulate our employees at these
European locations for their work in earning this certification and
operating with excellence.”
Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said: “We
congratulate Alcoa on these three ASI Performance Standard
Certifications in Europe. The new certifications, combined with
Performance Standard and Chain of Custody Standard Certifications
already achieved at other Alcoa sites are not only a further
validation of company-wide efforts to implement responsible
practices along the value chain, but also demonstrate the company’s
continued strong support of ASI’s mission.”
