Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (INALUM) Persero has achieved ASI Performance Standard V3 (2022) Certification for its INALUM Smelting Plant at Kuala Tanjung in Indonesia. This is the first certification issued against the updated Performance Standard V3, which was launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process.
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Indonesia Asahan Aluminium (Persero) has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3 (2022).

We’re pleased to see INALUM (Persero) forging the way ahead with the uptake of the new Performance Standard, and demonstrating its strong commitment to responsible aluminium production and stewardship.”
