The ASI brings together producers, users and other stakeholders to promote the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. SIG supports the ASI’s objectives in the aluminium value chain through its commitment to responsible sourcing of materials.

Henrik Wagner, Global Sourcing & Procurement Director at SIG said, “SIG’s commitment to responsible sourcing is central to our ambition to go Way Beyond Good by putting more into society and the environment than we take out. Sourcing materials from suppliers that have been certified to strict ethical, environmental and social standards is one of the best ways we can demonstrate that commitment. By joining the ASI, we have the opportunity to enhance the environmental credentials of our cartons through the new ASI certification on the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium.”

SIG has always been working towards enhancing traceability and responsibility in raw material sourcing for their packaging products and aluminium is their current focus to push that further.

Most SIG packs include an ultra-thin barrier layer of aluminium foil. The new ASI certification audits aluminium suppliers against strict ethical, environmental and social standards. SIG has been collaborating with Amcor, one of its aluminium suppliers, for over a year to get ready for ASI certification through pilot assessments.  

Dr Fiona Solomon, CEO of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative said,  “We are delighted to welcome SIG to the ASI community. Aluminium is a critical material for the packaging sector and ASI’s Certification program provides a platform to recognise and collaboratively foster global supply chain efforts towards enhanced sustainability. SIG’s ongoing actions to responsibly source raw materials are now being extended to aluminium; one of the world’s most widely used metals.”
