MYTILINEOS through its Metallurgy Business Unit, has been certified with the ASI Performance Standard for its upstream activities, including bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting and casting.

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) is a global, multi-stakeholder, non-profit standards setting and certification organization, that has developed an independent certification program to ensure that the principles of Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility, Governance and Human Rights are increasingly integrated into the production, use and recycling of aluminum.

Specifically, ASI announced that MYTILINEOS has been successfully certified against the ASI Performance Standard for the responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium having as scope the following:

  • The Bauxite mining activities of Delphi Distomon site;
  • The refining, smelting and casthouse activities at the Aluminium of Greece Plant;
  • The Port Facilities at the Aluminium of Greece Plant and,
  • MYTILINEOS’ corporate headquarters in Athens.
The ASI Certification program was developed through an extensive multi-stakeholder consultation process and is the only comprehensive voluntary sustainability standard initiative for the aluminium value chain.

 The ASI Performance Standard defines environmental, social and governance principles and criteria, with the aim to address sustainability issues in the aluminium value chain. 

It sets out 59 criteria under the three sustainability pillars of Governance, Environment and Social, which address key issues such as biodiversity, human rights  and greenhouse gas emissions.
