Vedanta Aluminium Sends First-Ever ASI CoC-Certified Aluminium Order

Vedanta Aluminium, India’s largest aluminium producer, has achieved a global milestone by delivering its first-ever Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) Chain of Custody (CoC)-certified aluminium shipment to Capral Aluminium, Australia’s largest extruder and distributor of aluminium products. This landmark supply reinforces Vedanta’s commitment to responsible production and marks a significant step in strengthening global sustainable aluminium value chains.

Vedanta Aluminium had achieved ASI CoC certification in late 2024, following two years of active engagement to align its sustainability initiatives with ASI’s rigorous standards. ASI CoC certification ensures that every stage of aluminium production adheres to the highest environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, from responsible sourcing of raw materials to ethical and energy-efficient manufacturing. As demand for sustainable materials continues to grow worldwide, Vedanta Aluminium’s ASI-certified metal is poised to enable industries to make environmentally responsible choices.

Speaking about this achievement, Alok Ranjan, Chief Marketing Officer, Vedanta Aluminium, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of Vedanta Aluminium’s business philosophy, and achieving ASI CoC certification represents a defining moment in our journey towards responsible aluminium production. We are proud to supply Capral Aluminium with our ASI-certified material, reinforcing our shared vision for a greener, more transparent aluminium industry. This milestone highlights our ability to cater to the evolving ESG priorities of global markets and positions Vedanta Aluminium as a preferred supplier of responsibly produced aluminium.”

Luke Hawkins, General Manager of Industrial and Supply Chain at Capral Aluminium, commented: “Vedanta Aluminium has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to sustainability by achieving ASI CoC certification. This partnership enables us to strengthen our supply of responsibly sourced aluminium, supporting the Australian manufacturing sector in making more sustainable material choices. As the demand for low-carbon aluminium continues to grow, collaborations like ours with Vedanta play a crucial role in shaping the future of responsible aluminium sourcing.”

Vedanta Aluminium’s certification aligns with its broader commitment to decarbonization and sustainable manufacturing. The company has also pioneered Restora, one of the world’s lowest-carbon primary aluminium brands, and Restora Ultra, a near-zero carbon aluminium product, offering innovative solutions for industries striving to reduce their carbon footprints.

Vedanta Aluminium, a business of Vedanta Limited, is India's largest producer of aluminium, manufacturing more than half of India's aluminium i.e., 2.42 million tonnes in FY25. It is a leader in value-added aluminium products that find critical applications in core industries. Vedanta Aluminium ranks 2nd in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2024 world rankings for the aluminium industry, a reflection of its leading sustainable development practices. With its world-class aluminium smelters, alumina refinery and power plants in India, the company fulfils its mission of spurring emerging applications of aluminium as the 'Metal of the Future' for a greener tomorrow.
