Bridgnorth Aluminium achieves certification against ASI Performance Standard

According to a recent report, the UK-based aluminium flat-rolled products company Bridgnorth Aluminium has successfully secured ASI Performance Certification for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. The certification covers the manufacture of lithographic coils, foilstock, transformer windings and formable aluminium strips/coils for automotive heat and sound absorbing components.

The operations of Bridgnorth include casthouses, rolling mills, two Litho Centres, a multi-slitting line and finishing lines. Since 1933, the company has been manufacturing aluminium strips.

The ASI Certification is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain. It sets out 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Governance, Environment and Social, addressing key issues such as biodiversity, Indigenous People rights, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said “We warmly congratulate Bridgnorth Aluminium on their ASI Certification, connecting a historical company with their contemporary commitment to sustainability. Since the company’s products are used in such diverse sectors like lithographic printing and automotive, packaging and energy, Bridgnorth is a great ambassador of responsible production practices for these downstream industries.”

Simon MacVicker, Managing Director of Bridgnorth Aluminium said “We are very proud to achieve this ASI certification, which follows rigorous external assessment of our business and the way we run it. We are proud that our longstanding efforts towards sustainability are now objectively recognised, and we will use the new knowledge and experience, which we have gained through the certification process in order to further improve our sustainability performance.”
