Earlier in January 2019, the Alunorf plant, which is a joint venture of Novelis and Hydro, had also secured the ASI Performance Standard Certification.

The ASI Certification programme is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard defines environmental, social and governance principles and criteria, intending to address sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain. It sets out 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Governance, Environment, and Social, which address key issues such as biodiversity, Indigenous People's rights, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said, “ASI warmly congratulates Novelis on these two new ASI Certifications. Semi-fabrication facilities are the critical link between upstream production and a wide range of downstream use sectors and we are delighted to see the ever-growing commitment to responsible practices by key players such as Novelis.”

Emilio Braghi, Senior Vice President & President Novelis Europe, said: “Guided by our purpose to shape a sustainable world together, we are focused on implementing sustainable manufacturing processes and operating ethically and responsibly.”

He added, “We are proud to receive our first ASI certifications for both the Performance Standard and the Chain of Custody as it is another important milestone demonstrating our strong commitment towards sustainability.”
