ASI certifies two additional Hydro Aluminium Extruded Solutions operations against Performance Standard

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certifies two additional Hydro Aluminium Extruded Solutions operations against its standards for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. Hydro Aluminium Extruded Solutions operations for extrusion and profiles at the sites in Bellenberg (Germany) and fabrication of aluminium Lichtervelde (Belgium) have received certification against ASI Performance Standard.

Hydro now has certified 9 operations across four countries, including Hydro corporate office and a joint-venture – Alunorf – with Novelis, ASI said.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said “ASI congratulates Hydro on this further achievement and the demonstration of their ongoing commitment to certify their operations to the ASI Performance Standard. Clearly there are not only environmental, social and governance benefits for Hydro to pursue certification, but also a strategic business benefit that the company seeks to capitalise on. We applaud their tenacity and are as proud of their growing list of certified operations as Hydro employees are themselves.”

The ASI Certification is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process. The independent, third-party audit of the Extruded Solutions operations was carried out by DNV GL.

 “ASI certification is part of our strategy, and we will continue following up. This is because consumers want sustainable materials from companies that do business the right way – and this is what Hydro is all about,” said executive vice president Egil Hogna, who is responsible for Hydro’s Extruded Solutions business area.
