Cervejaria Masterpiece achieves dual ASI Certification for its beverage cans manufacturing plant in Niterói

Cervejaria Masterpiece has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3 with Provisional status and Chain of Custody V2 by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI). The firm has a microbrewery that makes various speciality beers packed in aluminium cans and marketed locally and worldwide.

Cervejaria Masterpiece has obtained Provisional status for meeting the ASI Performance Standard V3 (2022) and has been certified to manufacture aluminium beverage cans at its plant in Niterói, Brazil. DNV Business Assurance Services UK Ltd carried out the independent, third-party audit.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer of ASI, commented, “We congratulate Cervejaria Masterpiece on achieving dual ASI Certification with Provisional Status for the Performance Standard V3 (2022) and Full Status for Chain of Custody Standard V2 (2022). Embracing sustainability is an ongoing journey that involves consistently evaluating practices and driving positive change. The dual ASI Certification serves as a platform for Cervejaria Masterpiece to benchmark its sustainability performance and implement plans for continuous improvement.”

The ASI Certification programme, established after intensive multi-stakeholder input, is the first complete voluntary sustainability standard project for the aluminium value chain. The ASI Performance Standard V3 and ASI CoC Standard V2 were released in May 2022 following a multi-year review process.

André Valle, Masterpiece CEO, said, “We recognize the profound impact our industry has on the environment. Our commitment to sustainability is epitomized by our achievement of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certification. This certification underscores our dedication to responsible sourcing, ethical practices, and environmental stewardship. We believe in brewing excellence with a conscience, and this certification is a testament to our relentless pursuit of a more sustainable and eco-friendly brewing industry.”
