All Constellium operations achieve Aluminium Stewardship Initiative Certification

Constellium has announced that it has achieved Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard Certification for all its operations, including its corporate office in Paris.

The company says all its operations are certified to ASI’s latest Performance Standard Version 3.0, which sets a new level of targets for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of the aluminum value chain. Operations in Europe and North America are certified on all the 11 principles of the standard, addressing issues such as material stewardship, greenhouse gas emissions, waste and water management, biodiversity, governance and labor and human rights. Constellium’s Chinese operations have been certified against the first four principles of the standard as material converters.

Constellium is a founding member of ASI. Prior to this certification, the company had certified its facilities in Singen (rolling and extrusion), Gottmadingen and Dahenfeld, Germany, and Neuf-Brisach, France, against the Performance and the Chain of Custody standards. In 2023, the company received the ASI Performance Standard certificate for its U.S. plants in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Bowling Green, Kentucky, and in Děčín in the Czech Republic.

Constellium CEO Jean-Marc Germain, says, “This accomplishment reflects our strong commitment to responsible business practices and our dedication to delivering high-value, sustainable aluminum solutions. This certification, coupled with our recycling capacity and our sustainability commitments, is a step further to respond to the expectations of our customers and society."

Fiona Solomon, CEO of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, which is based in Australia, says, “For the aluminum sector to lift performance as a whole, it relies on companies to consistently strive for better sustainability outcomes. Constellium’s achievement across all of its operations places it among leaders within the ASI membership. We look forward to continuing our collaboration towards shared 2050 goals.”

Constellium says it has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 30 percent in 2030 versus 2021 and to increasing its recycled inputs to at least 50 percent by 2030. In 2023, 42 percent of Constellium’s metal inputs were from recycled sources, according to its “2023 Sustainability Report.”
