Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. achieves ASI Performance Standard certification for responsible aluminium production and sourcing

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative announced on Wednesday, September 2, that it successfully certified Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. against the Performance Standard certification for responsible production, sourcing, and stewardship of aluminium.

As per the report, ASI has certified Chalco Ruimin’s remelting and casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, and finishing operations in Mawei and Fuqing Districts, Fuzhou, China. The facilities, with an annual capacity of 450,000 tonnes, produce computer-to-plate (CTP) plates, foil stock, and other aluminium materials for use in the construction, packaging, electronics, and transportation sectors.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said, “We congratulate Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. on its ASI Performance Standard certification for its re-melting, casting and rolling operations. Rolling operations are the starting point for the products in many downstream sectors involving both consumer and industrial uses, and this makes a strong commitment to sustainable production at this stage of the value chain all the more important.”

The ASI Performance Standard defines environmental, social and governance principles and criteria, with the aim to address sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain. It sets out 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Governance, Environment, and Social, which address key issues such as biodiversity, Indigenous Peoples rights, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The independent, third-party audits of the Chalco Ruimin Co., Ltd. facilities were carried out by DNV GL.
