Aluminium Stewardship Initiative

The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), headquartered in Australia and operating in the secondary aluminium industry for treatment and re-processing into new aluminium, has reported greenhouse gas emissions for 2021 and 2018.

In 2021, ASI reported Scope 1 emissions totalling approximately 528,455,000 kg CO2e. Data for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions was not available for this year, though Scope 1 data was confirmed.

For the reporting year 2018, ASI disclosed a comprehensive set of emissions. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 1,336,600 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions were approximately 17,900 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were approximately 29,200 kg CO2e. The total emissions for 2018, combining Scope 1, 2, and 3, amounted to approximately 1,383,700 kg CO2e. At that time, ASI had disclosed emissions across all three scopes, though it noted missing data for purchased goods and services within Scope 3.

ASI's climate commitments and reduction initiatives are not detailed in the provided information, as there are no specific document reduction targets, SBTi reduction targets, or climate pledge declarations available. However, the industry context of secondary aluminium suggests a focus on circular economy principles and resource efficiency, which inherently contribute to emissions reduction through the use of recycled materials. Production emission factors cited in their audit reports, such as "Average Mine to Metal Emissions intensity" of 4400.0 kg CO2e per tonne and "Primary aluminium emissions" of 2520.0 kg CO2e per tonne, highlight the emissions intensity of aluminium production within the broader industry.
