The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global, multi-stakeholder, non-profit standards setting and certification organisation. It aims to recognise and foster the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. ASI is the result of producers, users and stakeholders in the aluminium value chain coming together with a commitment to maximising the contribution of aluminium to a sustainable society. Fiona Solomon, CEO of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative gives an insight into the ASI's plans and strategies post COVID- 19 in the below interview: 

AlCircle: What are your initial thoughts about the impact of Covid-19 on the global aluminium value chain? 

Fiona Solomon: As ASI runs a global Certification program; one of our key areas of focus has been on the impact of travel restrictions and social distancing policies on ASI audit processes. We quickly developed a policy on how ASI members and auditors could re-plan audit schedules and methods, including the possibility for remote auditing of some aspects of ASI Standards. In these initial weeks, we have been pleased that ASI members have been navigating through the challenges while staying engaged on sustainability issues.
