Capral Aluminium is the first extruded product manufacturer in Australasia to achieve ASI Certification
The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) today announced that Capral Aluminium has been certified against the ASI Performance Standard V3 and Chain of Custody (CoC) V2 for the extrusion, warehousing and distribution of aluminium products and services. The certifications apply to all of Capral's 26 facilities, composed of mills, distribution centres and trade centres, spread across every state and territory in Australia.
?These certifications recognise Capral's commitment to responsible production, sourcing, and management of aluminium products.
?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.
??"As buyers become increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of products, Capral's ASI certification is a significant achievement and reinforces our position as a responsible and sustainable business", comments Tony Dragicevich , Capral CEO.
??"It has been a difficult journey; these standards set high benchmarks and are assessed rigorously by third-party auditors. We can proudly hang our hat on the fact that we are the first Australasian aluminium extruder to achieve certification under the ASI Performance and Chain of Custody standards. Our management systems developed over many years helped us achieve this in less than twelve months - a phenomenal effort by our team."
With this certification, Capral joins a select group of international aluminium producers and suppliers who have met the rigorous standards set by the ASI. Capral is the first extruded product manufacturer in Australasia to achieve ASI Certification.
?The ASI CoC Standard sets out requirements for creating a Chain of Custody for material produced and processed through the value chain into diverse downstream sectors.
?Implementing ASI's CoC Standard links verified practices at successive supply chain steps – certified under the ASI Performance Standard – to the products produced by ASI Certified Entities. The CoC Standard also confirms that appropriate policies and due diligence processes are in place to identify and address critical issues, such as corruption, human rights abuses, and materials originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas in the supply chain and supporting responsible sourcing.

In November last year, Capral introduced LocAl,LocAl, a lower-carbon aluminium option for Australian Manufacturers, and can now additionally provide ASI Chain of Custody certification associated with these products, providing buyers with transparency regarding responsible sourcing and operations and along the entire aluminium value chain.
Fiona Solomon , Chief Executive Officer of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, said, "We warmly congratulate Capral Aluminium for achieving dual ASI Certification at its 26 facilities across Australia. For companies like Capral that are in the downstream part of the aluminium value chain, traceability is critical for the identification of potential environmental and social risks, which enhances accountability and helps to identify any non-compliance or unethical practices associated with the upstream supply chain. Capral's ASI Certifications demonstrate that it supports responsible sourcing, transparency, and accountability in its own operations and along the entire aluminium value chain."??
