Schüco certified against Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Performance Standard

Schüco, one of the leading suppliers of aluminium window, door and façade systems, has been certified against Aluminium Stewardship Initiative’s (ASI) Performance Standard. Schüco is one of the first companies in the construction sector to be certified against the ASI Performance Standard.

Andreas Engelhardt, Managing Partner of Schüco said, “The ASI certification is an important milestone within our sustainable material strategy. We aim to support our partners in the development of outstanding and future-proof buildings. This commitment goes hand-in-hand with our efforts towards ensuring responsible procurement as well as a comprehensive circular economy strategy. We are proud to receive this recognition of what we have achieved so far.”

The ASI Certification program is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. The program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process. The independent, third-party audit of Schüco was carried out by GUTcert (AFNOR Group).

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said, “Sincere congratulations to Schüco for their successful achievement of Certification against the ASI Performance Standard. ASI’s standards have application throughout the aluminium value chain, including downstream sectors such as construction with a focus on sustainable buildings. The current demand for materials with a positive eco-balance will encourage more responsible supply chain practices. Downstream users of aluminium also have a critical role to play in embedding material stewardship principles in design, life cycle analyses, closed-loop scrap management and end-of-life product strategies. We appreciate Schüco’s strong commitment to sustainability and look forward to their continued engagement with the ASI program.”
