25 February 2026
Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Shandong YuanWang Electrotechnics Co., Ltd. has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3.1 (2023). The Certification covers four facilities undertaking aluminium re-melting/refining, casthouse operations, and semi-fabrication, including the manufacture of electric-grade aluminium round rods, aluminium alloy ingots, and aluminium alloy wires and cables. Across the facilities, production processes include melting, casting, cutting, rolling, sawing, homogenisation, wire drawing, aging treatment, cold-pressure welding, and stranding, with combined annual production capacities of 600,000 tonnes of electric-grade aluminium round rods, 200,000 tonnes of aluminium alloy ingots, 40,000 tonnes of aluminium alloy wires and cables, and an additional 200,000 tonnes of electric-grade aluminium round rods.
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 Shandong YuanWang Electrotechnics Co., Ltd. was carried out by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services. A full listing of audit findings is available in the summary audit reports, linked below. Four minor non-conformances were identified during the audit under the Criteria 2.7a-f Emergency Response Plan, 4.1b-c Environmental Life Cycle Assessment – Disclosure, 5.1a-b Disclosure of GHG Emissions and Energy Use and 6.1a-f Emissions to Air. Shandong YuanWang Electrotechnics Co., Ltd. will be implementing corrective actions, to be verified in a follow-up audit.
