ASI Standards Revision: the What, Why and How

ASI’s continued ambition is to drive responsible production, sourcing and stewardship in the global aluminium value chain. Regular revisions of our standards and certification program are key, if we are to enable continuous improvement in the sector.

Since 2022 our Guidance and other supporting documents have gone through frequent updates to support implementation, reflect new regulatory frameworks, clarify key issues and incorporate new resources.

This latest revision, launched on 3 March 2025 follows a full review of our standards and we are taking the opportunity to develop a new generation of voluntary standards system in a changing landscape.

For further detail please see the Terms of Reference for the Revision.

ASI conducts standards development and revision processes in accordance with the ISEAL Alliance Code of Good Sustainability Systems. This includes multi-stakeholder public consultation and decision-making processes which represent a balance of interests. Revisions are overseen by the ASI Standards Committee, with input supported by technical Working Groups for key topics. Changes to ASI Standards must be adopted by the ASI Board.

The first public consultation for the ASI Standards Revision has now closed (17 Feb – 30 April). Thank you to all stakeholders who took time to provide your valuable inputs.

If you are interested to get in touch or to participate in the Working Groups, please reach out to us at consultation@aluminium-stewardship.org.

A second public consultation period will be held to allow further comments on the revised Standards before finalisation – this is anticipated in early 2027.
