The plants, located in Guthrie, Kentucky; Oswego, New York; and Ontario, Canada, remelt and recycle through to cold mill processing to produce a range of rolled aluminium products, primarily for the automotive market.
The ASI certifications attest Novelis' responsible manufacturing practices and its strong commitment towards the circular economy and sustainability.
In 2022, Novelis obtained ASI Performance Standard Certifications for its Berea plant in Kentucky, Greensboro plant in Georgia, and Warren facility in Ohio. Since 2021, Novelis has been delivering ASI-certified products to Europe, South America, and Asia.
"As a part of our purpose of shaping a sustainable world together, we aim to collaborate with our suppliers, customers and partners throughout the entire value chain to participate in these responsible practices," said Ganesh Panneer, Vice President, Operations, Novelis North America. "This latest certification further demonstrates our steadfast commitment to providing sustainable aluminum solutions to our valued customers."
Suzanne Lindsay-Walker, Vice President of Sustainability at Novelis Inc., said: "The completion of ASI certifications is another example of our commitment to working with our customers to help them achieve their sustainability goals. Adherence to the standards provides a clear indication of the care that certified companies share regarding environmental, social and governance standards with regard to aluminium manufacturing."
Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, said: "We warmly congratulate Novelis on attaining ASI Performance Standard certifications for three more of their manufacturing facilities in North America. This achievement expands Novelis' ASI Certification footprint across the region and reinforces their global action toward responsible aluminium production. As automotive manufacturers increasingly adopt aluminium for its light-weighting potential and efficiency gains, ensuring positive ESG outcomes is imperative. We commend Novelis for the leadership role it is playing in the sector by continuing to certify its global operations against the ASI Standards."
