Alcoa announced today that the Portland Aluminium joint venture
in Victoria, Australia, which Alcoa operates, has been recognized
for its environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance by
the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative.
Both the smelting and casthouse operations at Portland Aluminium
have earned ASI’s Performance Standard certification, which is the
most comprehensive in the aluminum industry. The standard defines
various principles and criteria for sustainability performance,
including biodiversity, Indigenous engagement, circularity, and
greenhouse gas emissions.
Portland Aluminium is a joint venture between Alcoa of Australia
(55%), CITIC (22.5%) and Marubeni Aluminium Australia (22.5%).
Alcoa manages the day-to-day operations at the smelter.
“Alcoa and its joint venture partners at Portland Aluminium are
delighted to have achieved ASI Performance Standard Certification
for our Portland smelting and casthouse operations,” said Rob Bear,
Acting Vice President of Operations for Alcoa of Australia.
Recently, ASI also recertified Alcoa of Australia’s assets in
Western Australia, which includes two bauxite mines and three
alumina refineries. The latest ASI certification for Portland means
that all of Alcoa of Australia’s operations are certified to ASI’s
Performance Standard, which provides third-party validation of
responsible production.
“We congratulate Alcoa on achieving ASI Performance Standard
Certification at its Portland, Australia smelting and casting
operations,” said Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI
said. “This certification not only acknowledges the efforts of
Alcoa Portland but also recognizes Alcoa's ongoing commitment to
add additional ASI certified facilities throughout its global
operations and demonstrate that sustainability is not just a goal,
but a core driver of success in the aluminum smelting
industry.”
Globally, Alcoa now has 18 sites ASI certified. The Company also
has earned Chain of Custody certifications to globally market and
sell ASI-certified bauxite, alumina and aluminum.
