Press Metal has achieved Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard V2 (2022) Certification for aluminium smelting, aluminium re-melting/refining, casthouses and aluminium dross internal recovery at its Press Metal Sarawak Sdn Bhd facility in Sarawak, Malaysia.

ASI today announced that Press Metal Sarawak Sdn Bhd has been certified against the ASI CoC Standard V2 (2022), in addition to the ASI Performance Standard V3, which it achieved in 2023. The Facility operates at an annual production capacity of 120,000 tonnes, producing aluminium billets.

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 Press Metal Sarawak Sdn Bhd was carried out by DNV Business Assurance Services UK Ltd. A full listing of audit findings outlining evidence of conformances is available from page 5 of the summary audit report, linked below. No non-conformances were identified during the Chain of Custody Certification audit.
