ASI turns 5: Celebrating 5 years of ASI!

In the beginning

In 2009, a global group of stakeholders from the aluminium industry, civil society, research and policy organisations, and industrial users of aluminium products started the ball rolling on what would become ASI by joining together to assess challenges, opportunities and needs. In March 2015, ASI appointed its first Executive Director, and in June 2015 the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Ltd was incorporated as a non-profit entity for the purposes of developing an independent, third-party certification program.

Change on the ground

Since the launch of the ASI Standards, we have been collecting anecdotal evidence and feedback from ASI Members as to how their implementation of the ASI Standards and process of certification has created change in their activities and real impact on the ground. This evidence is continuously being assessed, refined and expanded through on-site investigation and interviews. The results are used to create the Stories of Change

ASI: A powerful mechanism for driving responsible sourcing

Tetra Pak joins in the celebration of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative’s fifth birthday!

Since helping to establish the ASI as one of the founding members, we have been able to benefit from the deep collaboration with the ASI secretariat, the Board of Directors and the Standards committee and Working groups responsible for creating the ASI Performance standard. This standard sets out measurable and continuous improvements in the key environmental, social and governance impacts of aluminium extraction, production, use and recycling. ASI is also proving to be a powerful mechanism for driving responsible sourcing of our aluminium foil via our suppliers, who are now also certified members.
