In 2022, Aludium's Amorebieta and Alicante plants acquired the ASI Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard certification. The Castelsarrasin plant in France has completed the CoC audit and is on track to receive formal certification within the next few months.

Fiona Soloma, CEO of ASI, said: "The tour provided us with a solid understanding of the processes involved in rolled aluminium production and the aspects of quality and safety that are integrated throughout the facility. The tour has given us valuable insights into the capabilities of the plant and how the policies and processes align with ASI's goals and certification criteria."

She added, "We were pleased to learn that Aludium has a range of lower-carbon products at levels that are in line with the ASI Performance Standard criteria, and that the company has made transparency of its emissions data a priority. We also appreciated hearing about the company's setting of targets to reduce average carbon footprint per ton by 50% by 2025, alongside investments in recycling capacity and efficiency, and plans to increase renewable electricity consumption to 100%."

On receiving ASI CEO and other management members, Lionel Chapis, Aludium's CEO, said: "We are happy to receive ASI at our plant in Amorebieta. We think it's important that certification bodies continuously keep contact with the 'Real Life'. Over the last years we have spent many hours for ASI related aspects and it's good to see the persons behind this and to have the opportunity for a direct exchange and feedback."
