It is the first time that the company has received this certification, which represents confirmation that Albras aluminium has high quality standards, in addition to being produced in a responsible and sustainable manner. The company's annual production capacity is 460,000 tonnes.

Albras, located in Barcarena, is a joint venture in which Hydro owns 51%. Also in the state of Pará, Hydro has ASI certification for the Mineração Paragominas bauxite mine and Alunorte alumina refinery.

“ASI certification is the result of an many improvements developed over the past few years and consolidates Albras in an important international position. Our company prioritizes people, has standardized processes and controls its entire production chain, focusing on sustainability,” says João Batista Menezes, Albras president.

The analysis for the certification to the Performance Standard verified 59 environmental, social and governance principles and criteria. Among the high standards are those related to transparency, the environment, social issues, health, safety, labor rights, among others.

The Chain of Custody standard defines the general elements of the management systems that the company needs to effectively implement it, as well as Contractors Management. It also includes aspects of accounting, documentation and claims.
