Three Alcoa Corporation locations receive Aluminium Stewardship Initiative certifications

Alcoa Corporation, a global leader in bauxite, alumina, and aluminum headquartered in Pittsburgh, announced Tuesday that the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certified three Alcoa-operated locations, one in each of the company’s three business units.

The certifications include the Juruti bauxite mine in Brazil, the Alumar alumina refinery near São Luís, Brazil and the aluminum smelter in San Ciprián, Spain. The certifications are valid for three years.

“We are honored that ASI has certified these three locations and recognized our sustainable approach, which drives how we operate our facilities, manufacture our products, and interact with our communities,” Alcoa President and CEO Roy Harvey said. “We consistently work to produce bauxite, alumina, and aluminum in a responsible manner, and achieving ASI Certification is an important differentiator for our Company as a recognized leader in sustainability.”

ASI is a global sustainability certification program for the aluminum industry, representing both upstream producers and downstream manufacturers who use the metal in their products. The certification process includes independent, third-party reviewers to verify responsible production, sourcing, and stewardship as part of ASI’s standards.
