Capral Aluminium achieves ASI certifications for extrusion, distribution

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) has confirmed that Capral Aluminium has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3 and Chain of Custody (CoC) V2 for the extrusion, warehousing, and distribution of aluminium products and services.

The certifications apply to all of Capral’s 26 facilities composed of mills, distribution centres, and trade centres, spread across every state and territory in Australia.

The ASI Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain.

With this certification, Capral is counted among a select group of international aluminium producers and suppliers that have met the rigorous standards set by the ASI.

The ASI CoC Standard sets out requirements for creating a Chain of Custody for material produced and processed through the value chain into diverse downstream sectors.

Implementing ASI’s CoC Standard links verified practices at successive supply chain steps – certified under the ASI Performance Standard – to the products produced by ASI Certified Entities. The CoC Standard also confirms that appropriate policies and due diligence processes are in place to identify and address critical issues, such as corruption and materials originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in the supply chain and supporting responsible sourcing.
