Trafigura is delighted to become a supporting member of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). The ASI has set the industry benchmark for responsibly sourced aluminium. As one of the world’s leading independent aluminium traders, we intend to play an active role in contributing to the future development of ASI standards, as well as towards promoting their application amongst Trafigura’s extensive supplier and customer base.
