ASI certifies MORAVIA CANS a.s. against Performance Standard V3.1
The facility manufactures aluminium monobloc aerosol cans and bottles for the deodorant and personal care markets.
4 December 2025
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that MORAVIA CANS a.s. has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The facility manufactures aluminium monobloc aerosol cans and bottles for the deodorant and personal care markets, using both its proprietary Impact Extrusion with Ironing (IEI) process and its application of the Drawn and Wall-Ironing (DWI/D&I) process. The facility features optimised production and quality inspection systems and supports closed-loop recycling through ASI Certified suppliers.
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 MORAVIA CANS a.s. was carried out by GUTcert (AFNOR Group). A full listing of audit findings is available in the summary audit reports, linked below. Sixteen minor non-conformances were noted under Criteria 1.1 Legal Compliance, 1.3a-e Code of Conduct, 2.3b Environmental and Social Management Systems – Social, 3.1a-b Sustainability Reporting, 3.2 Non-compliance and Liabilities, 3.3a-c Payments to Governments, 4.4a-c Collection and Recycling of Products at End of Life – Material Conversion and other Manufacturing, 5.4 GHG Emissions Management, 6.2a-g Discharges to Water, 7.1a-b Water Assessment and Disclosure, 7.2a-e Water Management, 9.1a-d Human Rights Due Diligence, 9.2a-e Gender Equity and Women’s Empowerment, 9.8e Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas – Report annually, 10.1a-c Freedom of Association and Right to Collective Bargaining, and 10.3a-c Forced Labour.
