ASI certifies Qingyuan Jinyang Aluminium Co., Ltd against Performance Standard V3.1 and Chain of Custody V2
The facility produces aluminium alloy building and industrial profiles.
25 June 2026
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Qingyuan Jinyang Aluminium Co., Ltd has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 and Chain of Custody Standard V2. The facility produces aluminium alloy building and industrial profiles using processes that include melting and casting, extrusion, anodic oxidation, electrophoretic coating, powder spraying, thermal insulation processing, and decorative finishing, with an annual aluminium profile production capacity exceeding 30,800 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 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 ASI Performance Standard 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 ASI CoC Standard sets out requirements for the creation of a Chain of Custody for material that is produced and processed through the value chain into diverse downstream sectors. The implementation of ASI’s CoC Standard links verified practices at successive steps of the supply chain – certified under the ASI Performance Standard – to the products produced by ASI Certified Entities. The CoC Standard also confirms that appropriate policies and due diligence processes are in place to identify and address critical issues, such as corruption, human rights abuses, materials originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in the supply chain and support responsible sourcing.
The independent, third-party audit of Qingyuan Jinyang Aluminium Co., Ltd was carried out by China Quality Mark Certification Group. A full listing of audit findings outlining evidence of conformances and minor non-conformances is available from page 5 in each of the summary audit reports, linked below.

During the Certification period, Qingyuan Jinyang Aluminium Co., Ltd will be implementing a corrective action plan, which will be verified in follow-up audits. No non-conformances were identified during the Chain of Custody Certification audit.
