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 (2022) was launched in May 2022 following a multi-year revision process. It 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.

“We congratulate SAI for achieving Performance Standard Certification V3 (2022) Certification at its Douliu City manufacturing facility. Aluminum’s contribution to improved sustainability performance in vehicles is based in part on its lightweight nature, leading to weight reduction, improved efficiency, and enhanced performance. In addition, the lifetime of the vehicle can also be extended due to aluminium’s corrosion resistance properties. By attaining Performance Standard certification, SuperAlloy Industrial Co., Ltd. demonstrates its commitment to addressing a broad spectrum of ESG challenges in its production process, and can leverage the Standard in its pursuit to enhance its practices over time.”
