Post the completed process of verification, Grupa Kęty S.A. received the Performance Standard certificate for sustainable use of aluminium, fulfilling the requirements of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), an international non-profit organisation supported by industrial associations, aluminium producers, and processing companies. The standard defines criteria for environmentally and socially responsible aluminium value chain. The certificate confirms responsible practices in the areas of production, materials sourcing and product management, as well as determines the principles and criteria for environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). The independent external audit was carried out by TÜV Rheinland Cert GmbH. In the justification of the certificate granting, the fact of utilisation of a major quantity of scrap in the process of billets manufacturing by way remelting has been emphasised, which requires less energy than primary aluminium production and generates significantly lower carbon footprint.
Focusing on aluminium reuse and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, Grupa Kęty has proven to be a leader in promoting responsible production practices with regard to product sourcing and management. The certificate shall positively contribute to the ‘Strong Business – Sustainable Development’ slogan on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Grupa KĘTY S.A. It is a proof of the Company’s engagement in creating climate-neutral circular economy” wiecej
