Business Wire
Alcoa Corporation, a global leader in bauxite, alumina and
aluminum, today announced that the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative
(ASI) has certified the Company’s Baie-Comeau aluminum smelter in
Québec, Canada.
The three-year certification from ASI represents additional
recognition for Alcoa’s leadership in sustainability. Earlier this
year, Alcoa announced ASI certifications for three locations that
represent the full upstream aluminum value chain. The Company now
has locations certified against ASI’s Performance Standard in three
countries – Brazil, Canada and Spain. Also, Alcoa was recently
named the Aluminum Industry Leader in the annual Dow Jones
Sustainable Indices (DJSI).
“From mine to metal, Alcoa is recognized as a sustainability
leader,” said Michelle O’Neill, Alcoa’s Senior Vice President of
Government Affairs and Sustainability. “This latest ASI
certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to operate in a
responsible manner while bringing long-lasting value to our
stakeholders.”
ASI is a global sustainability certification program for the
aluminum industry, representing both upstream producers and
downstream manufacturers who use the metal in their products. The
certification process includes independent, third-party auditors to
verify responsible production, sourcing and stewardship as part of
ASI’s standards.
“We congratulate Alcoa on their latest ASI Certification in
Canada, joining previous certifications in Brazil and Spain that
cover mining to casthouse,” said ASI’s Chief Executive Officer
Fiona Solomon. “The ASI Certification of the Baie-Comeau facility
shows their commitment to supporting a responsible aluminum value
chain.”
