Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certifies ALVANCE British Aluminium against ASI Performance Standard (Provisional)

ALVANCE British Aluminium has achieved ASI Performance Standard certification with Provisional status for its smelting and casting operation at Lochaber, Scotland. Aluminium slab products from Lochaber, Britain’s only smelter, supply multiple downstream sectors in the UK and Europe, and have a low carbon footprint as the plant is powered by hydroelectricity.

Tom Uppington Managing Director of ALVANCE British Aluminium said: “The ASI certification is considered to be the gold standard for sustainable production in the industry and I’m delighted that the Lochaber Smelter’s operations have been recognised in this way. We are committed to delivering a market-leading low-carbon product and the ASI certification will give confidence to aluminium customers looking to demonstrate sustainable supply chains. Lochaber is emblematic of ALVANCE’s GREEN ALUMINIUM vision – we produce high value, low-carbon, essential metal using renewable energy. The ASI accreditation is an acknowledgement of the work each and every member of our staff do every day to deliver on our sustainability ambitions – this certification belongs to them and I’m very proud of their achievement.”
