Constellium’s Neuf-Brisach rolling operations certified against Aluminium Stewardship Initiative

Constellium has received ASI Performance Standard and Chain of Custody Standard Certification for its casting, rolling, finishing and recycling operations at Neuf-Brisach site in France.

The plant, which has an annual capacity of 450,000 tons, produces primarily auto body sheet and canstock products. The mills provides coil and sheet products for the packaging and automotive sectors.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI said, “We warmly congratulate Constellium on their dual ASI Certifications at the Neuf-Brisach plant. This plant’s feedstocks of recycled aluminium scrap make it a key starting point for downstream customers that wish to source aluminium with a reduced CO2 footprint. The ASI Certifications provide the assurance that their customers are sourcing an aluminium product that is produced responsibly, and can help extend the sustainability credentials of their customers’ products as well.”

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 audits of the Constellium plant were carried out by GUTcert (AFNOR Group).

“We are very proud of this achievement. Our customers and society demand sustainable and environmentally-friendly products manufactured responsibly, and our recycling capacity coupled with this certification is a step further to respond to their demand”, said Peter Basten, President, Packaging and Rolled Automotive Products business unit at Constellium. “This certification, combined with our ambitious sustainability strategy, demonstrates our commitment to building a circular economy and to improving the overall footprint of the aluminium life cycle.”
