Rio Tinto Canada gets Approval for Responsibly Produced Aluminium

Rio Tinto has been given independent verification that all of its Canadian operations offer responsibly produced aluminium. It comes as the company had the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative’s chain of custody certification extended to include its BC Works smelter and Kemano power operations in Kitimat, British Columbia. The certification provides verification that material can be traced through a ‘chain of custody’ spanning Rio Tinto’s Gove bauxite mine in Australia to its alumina refinery, aluminium smelters and casthouses in Quebec and British Columbia.

The company has been at the forefront of the responsible production for the aluminium industry, having been a founding member of the ASI, according to Rio Tinto Aluminium vice president sales and marketing Tolga Egrilmezer. He said that “This certification continues Rio Tinto’s leadership on responsible production. It increases the availability of ASI certified aluminium in a range of markets, giving customers the ability to offer end consumers products made with aluminium that meets the highest sustainability standards.”
