Novelis has achieved performance standard certifications by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) at three of its North American manufacturing facilities in Kentucky and New York, USA, and Ontario, Canada. With capabilities in remelting and recycling through to cold mill processing and finishing, these facilities produce a range of rolled aluminum products primarily for the automotive market.
This achievement recognizes Novelis' responsible manufacturing practices by ASI. Novelis has a focus on the circular economy and on achieving high levels of recycled content across its product range.
The certifications for the Guthrie, K.Y., Oswego, N.Y., and Kingston, Ontario, plants follow ASI Performance Standard certifications in Berea, K.Y., Greensboro, G.A., and Warren, O.H., plants. The company has been delivering ASI-certified material since August 2021 in Europe, South America, and Asia.
"As a part of our purpose of shaping a sustainable world together, we aim to collaborate with our suppliers, customers, and partners throughout the entire value chain to participate in these responsible practices," said Ganesh Panneer, vice president of operations at Novelis North America. "This latest certification further demonstrates our steadfast commitment to providing sustainable aluminum solutions to our valued customers."
The ASI Performance Standard addresses environmental, social, and governance principles for the production of aluminum, assuring that the ASI-certified organization's production practices are responsible.
"The completion of ASI certifications is another example of our commitment to working with our customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals," said Suzanne Lindsay-Walker, vice president of sustainability at Novelis. "Adherence to the standards provides a clear indication of the care that certified companies share regarding environmental, social and governance standards with regard to aluminum manufacturing."
