7 October 2024
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Guangdong Betterlid Packaging Material Co.,Ltd. has been successfully certified against the ASI CoC Standard V2 (2022). The facility focuses on the production, processing and research and development of aluminium packaging materials, including aluminium tabs, screw caps, Maxi-P caps, aluminium bowls, containers, ‘easy peel-off’ ends and other aluminium foil products.
The ASI CoC Standard V2 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 materials 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 the Guangdong Betterlid Packaging Material Co.,Ltd. facility was carried out by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services. A full listing of audit findings outlining evidence of conformances and minor non-conformance is available from page 5 of the summary audit report, linked below.
