EGA¡¯s Al Taweelah receives Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Certification

Emirates Global Aluminium has become the first company in the Middle East to receive certification under the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). EGA’s Al Taweelah site has been certified against ASI’s Performance Standard for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.

Al Taweelah site produces more than 1.5 million tonnes of aluminium each year and has been in operation since 2009.

Abdulla Kalban, EGA’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said: “People around the world are rightly concerned that the products they use every day to make their lives better do not harm other people or the planet. Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certification provides assurance to our customers, in industries from automotive to electronics, that EGA is committed to helping them meet global consumers’ increasing expectations for responsibility. This is an important milestone for EGA and we intend to seek certification for other facilities in the future.”

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, said: “ASI congratulates EGA as the first Middle-East-based member to achieve ASI Performance Standard Certification. We are proud to hear how the ASI Certification process has impacted in a positive way on different areas of EGA’s operations, including in relation to biodiversity. It is these kinds of stories of change that underscore the importance of ASI’s work program and remind us why the ASI Standards were developed.”

The certification covers the company’s aluminium smelting facilities at Al Taweelah in Abu Dhabi, including port, power generation, carbon plant, potlines and casthouse, EGA said through its press release.

ASI is a global, multi-stakeholder, non-profit standards setting and certification organisation that aims to recognise and foster the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.
