ASI certifies AL INVEST Břidličná against Performance Standard V3.1

16 December 2025

AL INVEST Břidličná has achieved ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023) for the development and production of rolled semi-finished products from aluminium and its alloys, production of cast plates, and development and production of aluminium foil and flexible packaging materials at their production facilities located in Břidličná, Czech Republic.

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that AL INVEST Břidličná, a.s. has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The facility produces rolled aluminium products and packaging materials for industrial and consumer applications, using processes including billet melting and casting, rolling, annealing, slitting, and surface treatment. Its operations are supported by laboratories, maintenance workshops, a wastewater treatment plant, and central storage areas.

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).
