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.

It sets out 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Environment, Social, and Governance, which address key issues such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, and greenhouse gas emissions. A certification with Provisional status provides a one-year certification period during which corrective actions can be undertaken, enabling the company to then achieve Full certification at its next surveillance audit.
The independent, third-party audit of the Ningbo Tuopu Group Co., Ltd. operation was carried out by TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH. The audit took place prior to May 31, 2023, thus enabling a Performance Standard V2 certification.

Adopting sustainability is an ongoing journey that entails consistently assessing and enacting change. ASI Certification enables companies to appraise their manufacturing methods through the lens of an ESG standard and provides a path forward for progress on the ground”
