Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Yong Jie New Material Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Yongjie Aluminum Co., Ltd. has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The facilities’ production processes include smelting, casting (ingot and continuous), hot and cold rolling, foil rolling, slitting, carbon coating, finishing, and packaging. In 2024, Yong Jie New Material Co., Ltd. produced approximately 80,000 metric tonnes, while Zhejiang Yongjie Aluminium Co., Ltd. produced approximately 300,000 metric tonnes.
The ASI Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard V3 and ASI CoC Standard V2 were launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process. The ASI Performance Standard V3 defines 11 principles and 62 criteria under three sustainability pillars – Environment, Social, and Governance – with the aim to address pressing sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain, such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, circularity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The 2022 Standards and related documents underwent a minor update in 2023, accounting for editorial changes, correction of minor errors and for general clarification, culminating in the release of Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) and Chain of Custody Standard V2.1 (2023).
The independent, third-party audit of Yong Jie New Material Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Yongjie Aluminum Co., Ltd. was carried out by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services. A full listing of audit findings is available in the summary audit reports, linked below. Four minor non-conformances were noted under Criteria 2.4a-e Responsible Sourcing, 6.1a-f Emissions to Air, 10.8a-c Working Time and 11.1b-e Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Management System – Reviews and disclosure. Yong Jie New Material Co., Ltd and Zhejiang Yongjie Aluminum Co., Ltd. will be implementing corrective actions, to be verified in a follow-up audit.
