Our ASI consulting services support organizations in preparing for certification against the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative requirements, including both the Performance Standard and the Chain of Custody Standard.
The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) establishes international requirements for the responsible production, processing and use of aluminium throughout the value chain.
ASI certification helps organizations demonstrate credible environmental, social and governance performance, including responsible sourcing, resource efficiency, greenhouse gas management, human rights and occupational health and safety.
When ASI consulting is useful
ASI consulting is useful when an organization is preparing for its first certification, extending the scope of an existing certification, or implementing new requirements across its processes.
Support may include documentation review, evaluation of implementation in daily operations and verification of the evidence needed for certification.
ASI Performance Standard
The Performance Standard evaluates how the organization manages environmental, social and governance impacts associated with its activities.
Requirements cover areas such as:
- business integrity and governance;
- greenhouse gas emissions;
- resource efficiency and circularity;
- biodiversity and waste management;
- occupational health and safety;
- workers’ rights and community-related topics.
ASI Chain of Custody
The Chain of Custody Standard provides a framework for the traceability of ASI-certified aluminium throughout the supply chain.
It enables organizations to demonstrate that materials claimed as ASI are sourced from eligible inputs and are controlled appropriately from supplier through to the customer.
Our services
GAP Analysis – we assess the current situation against ASI Performance Standard and Chain of Custody requirements and identify gaps or potential nonconformities;
ASI training – we prepare management and responsible personnel to understand and apply the requirements;
Implementation support – we support the development of procedures, responsibilities, controls and required evidence;
Traceability flow and control design – we analyze material flows and define the controls required to maintain traceability;
Documentation development and review – we support the preparation and improvement of documents needed for certification;
Internal assessment before certification – we evaluate readiness and identify areas requiring improvement;
Nonconformity support – we support root cause analysis, corrective actions and preparation of closure evidence.
What we verify in practice
The internal assessment may include governance, ESG risk management, environmental performance, occupational health and safety, workers’ rights, responsible sourcing, material traceability, mass balance controls and the documentation supporting ASI claims.
The objective is to develop a coherent, practical and auditable system that supports certification and long-term compliance.
We transform ASI requirements into an applicable system that supports compliance, traceability and sustainable performance.
ASI – responsible aluminium, demonstrated performance.
