June newsletter highlights
The ASI Standards Committee pauses for a photo op during their meeting in Molde, Norway.
We just sent out the June 2019 ASI News! Some highlights from this month’s issue:
- ASI Certifications at 18 months of implementation
A highlight of the ASI AGM Week conference earlier this month were the presentations from ten implementing companies about their ASI Certification journey. The ten companies were examples of ASI’s diversity of membership across geographies and supply chain activities. So at 18 months since our launch, how is the overall breadth of ASI implementation developing? - ASI Indigenous Peoples Advisory Forum (IPAF) – 2019 Meeting Report
The 2019 IPAF meeting was held in Ranchi, in the state of Jharkhand, India between 25 February – 6 March. More than 30 participants from India, Australia, Canada, Ghana, Guinea, India, the Netherlands, Suriname, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States attended the IPAF meeting to share experiences and increase awareness of ASI’s work in the aluminium value chain. - ASI Certifications update
In June, two members attained ASI Performance Standard Certification and two achieved Chain of Custody Standard Certification - Recording of FPIC webinar now available
FPIC is the principle that an Indigenous community has the right to give or withhold consent to proposed projects that may affect their land, natural resources, lives and wellbeing. It is a core part of the ASI Standards. - ASI welcomed several new members in June: one Association member, one Civil Society member, and three Production & Transformation members. ASI currently has 92 members working together towards responsible aluminium, with more member announcements in the pipeline.
