Novelis’ second facility in China grabs ASI Performance Standard certification

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has certified Novelis Aluminum (Zhenjiang) Co., Ltd. against Performance Standard V2 (2017) certification for rolling activities at Jingkou Industrial Zone, Jiangsu Province, China. That makes the plant the second Novelis facility in China to receive Performance Standard certification and 19th globally.

Novelis rolling plant in Jiangsu produces premium and strong structural plate products for aerospace and commercial applications. 

The independent, third-party audit of Novelis’ Zhenjiang plant was carried out by DNV Business Assurance Services UK Ltd.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We sincerely congratulate Novelis on achieving Performance Standard Certification at its Zhenjiang rolling facility. Aluminium applications for the Aerospace sector must meet stringent operational performance requirements for strength, ductility, damage tolerance, and fatigue, among others. This ASI Performance Standard Certification demonstrates the company is also addressing the increasing global focus on the environmental, social and governance performance of aluminium production processes and operations.”

James Liu, Managing Director of Novelis China, commented: "We are delighted that Novelis’ Zhenjiang plant is now certified to meet ASI’s environmental, social and governance standards. Driven by our purpose of Shaping a Sustainable World Together, we continuously dedicate ourselves to being the most trusted partner for our customers and to advancing the use of low-carbon, sustainable aluminum solutions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy in partnership with various stakeholders in China."
