The ASI Performance Standard V2 (2017) defines environmental, social, and governance principles and criteria, aiming at addressing sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain. It sets forth 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Environment, Social and Governance, which address key issues like biodiversity, labour rights, indigenous people rights, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Shanghai Huafon Aluminium Corporation received the ASI Certification after undergoing independent, third-party audit by Shanghai Kylin Certification Service Co., Ltd. Since the audit took place after May 31, 2023, the company stood eligible for Performance Standard V2 Certification.

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: “We congratulate Shanghai Huafon Aluminium Corporation on achieving Performance Standard Certification. The company’s Certification demonstrates that it is committed to implementing responsible production practices and addressing key environmental, social and governance issues in the aluminium value chain.”
