Constellium Earns Global ASI Certification for Sustainable Practices
Constellium SE (NYSE: CSTM) has reached a major companywide milestone: every one of its facilities is now certified to the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Performance Standard. The achievement underscores a long-standing focus on responsible sourcing and sustainable production, and it further strengthens the company’s standing in the aluminium sector.
What the ASI Performance Standard Covers
Constellium is certified to ASI’s latest Performance Standard Version 3.0, which tightens expectations across the aluminium value chain. The standard sets demanding criteria for material stewardship, greenhouse gas emissions, waste and water management, and biodiversity. In Europe and North America, Constellium’s operations met all requirements across the standard’s 11 principles. Operations in China were certified as material converters under the first four principles, reflecting the scope of their activities and the rigor of the review.
Leadership Commitment
CEO Jean-Marc Germain noted that the certification reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to responsible business practices. He emphasized continuous improvement as a core approach to sustainability, and highlighted how recycling capabilities are being integrated alongside Constellium’s innovative aluminium solutions to support those goals.
Recognition from the Industry
Fiona Solomon, CEO of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, congratulated Constellium for its comprehensive commitment to responsible practices. She indicated that this step places Constellium among leaders within the ASI membership and recognized the company’s work to advance sustainability outcomes across the industry.
Progress to Date and the Road Ahead
Before achieving this global milestone, several Constellium sites had already been recognized under ASI standards. These included Singen and Gottmadingen in Germany and Neuf-Brisach in France. Facilities in the United States—Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Bowling Green, Kentucky—as well as D??ín in the Czech Republic also held certifications, building a strong foundation for broader company adoption.
Looking forward, Constellium has set clear, time-bound targets. By 2030, the company aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 30% compared with 2021 levels. Over the same period, it plans to lift the share of recycled input in its production to at least 50%. Together, these targets chart a direct path toward lower-impact production and greater circularity.
Engaging Stakeholders with Transparency
Constellium reports its sustainability performance annually and invites stakeholders to review its progress. This regular, transparent disclosure is intended to build trust with customers and communities while keeping attention on measurable results.
