ArmInfo.ARMENAL launches preparations for certification of the plant for compliance with the requirements of international standards Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) - the Initiative for Responsible Management of Aluminum Production. ArmInfo was informed about this in the press service of the company.
The report notes that the preparatory work is planned to be completed by the end of 2021, after which one of the international specialized companies will conduct a certification audit of ARMENAL. ASI certification will demonstrate to consumers the plant's commitment to sustainability in the manufacture of its products.
Specialists from the Department for Environment, Labor Protection and Industrial Safety of RUSAL trained a large group of ARMENAL employees who will take part in the implementation of ASI standards. ASI standards are widely recognized as an affirmation of adherence to the principles of sustainable development and define the management, environmental, and social criteria in the aluminum-related production chain. ASI applies to all areas of enterprise activity - from compliance with labor rights of workers and ensuring industrial safety to anti-corruption and responsible supplier selection.
To recall, ARMENAL has been part of RUSAL since 2000. It is one of the largest industrial enterprises in Armenia and the only producer of aluminum foil in the Caucasus and Central Asia. Created on the basis of the Kanaker aluminum plant, which was commissioned in 1950.
