Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certifies four additional Amcor operations against ASI Chain of Custody Standard

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) announced that four additional Amcor operations have been certified against its Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard. The certification includes four additional operations in France, Germany and Switzerland: Amcor Flexibles Sarrebourg SAS, Amcor Flexible Packaging France SAS, in de Froges, Amcor Flexibles Teningen Tscheulin-Rothal GmbH, and Amcor Flexibles Rorschach AG.

This enables Amcor to offer its customers products with ASI certified aluminium and the option for on-pack ASI labelling.

Amcor uses aluminium in its packaging solutions for food, drink, and pharmaceuticals, as well as for foils used in electronics, transportation, construction and other industrial applications.

Dr Gerald Rebitzer, Director Sustainability at Amcor Flexibles, said: “Receiving this certification further recognises Amcor’s commitment to responsible sourcing practices and selection of aluminium raw materials that minimise environmental impact. I would like to thank all the Amcor people involved in obtaining this certification and we are looking forward to strengthening the work with our own suppliers in order to create end-to-end responsible supply chains.”

The ASI Certification program is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The independent, third-party audits of the operations were carried out by DNV GL.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “With Amcor’s expanded scope of their CoC Standard certifications, we have a global packaging company recognising the advantages of being able to offer its customers responsibly sourced aluminium in its products. The growing momentum we are seeing in the uptake of ASI Certification in the downstream part of the aluminium value chain, particularly for packaging, demonstrates that the demand for responsibly produced aluminium is there. We’re grateful to Amcor for its ongoing support of our Standards program as one of the founders of ASI, and congratulate the company on the expansion of their certified operations.”
