ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel delivers first ASI coils for Audi A6 production

Duffel, Belgium, 23 February 2021 – ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel has delivered the first coils certified under the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Chain of Custody standard to the Audi plant in Neckarsulm (Germany).The ASI-badged coils will be used in the production of various models, starting with the Audi A6. Through this milestone, both companies are demonstrating their common and ongoing commitment to make concrete efforts to increase sustainability.

ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel was awarded the ASI Chain of Custody standard at the beginning of July 2020*. This certificate ensures that not only the operations at the facility in Duffel meet the ASI standards, but also that the aluminium material has been sourced and produced in a responsible and sustainable way across the entire supply chain, from the extraction of bauxite up to the finished product.
To this end ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel is working with ALVANCE Aluminium Dunkerque on exploring the potential for its sister company to supply metal for its automotive products. ALVANCE Aluminium Dunkerque is the largest smelter in Europe and produces some of the lowest carbon aluminium on the market. The smelter is also ASI accredited under the body’s Performance Standard for responsible production, sourcing and stewardship of aluminium. By sourcing its metal from Dunkerque, ALVANCE Aluminium Duffel strives to enhance its sustainable value chain with ASI accreditation embedded in the entire process, from smelting to rolling.
