It defines 11 principles and 62 criteria under three sustainability pillars—Environment, Social, and Governance—with the aim of addressing sustainability areas in the aluminum value chain, such as biodiversity, indigenous peoples’ rights, circularity, and greenhouse gas emissions. The independent, third-party audit of BALCO was carried out by CETIZION Verifica.\u003C\u002Fp>\r\n\u003Cp>John Slaven, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium, stated, “We welcome BALCO’s inclusion in the esteemed ASI membership and its Certification against the ASI Performance Standard V3, which includes the production of our low-carbon ‘green’ aluminum Restora and Restora Ultra brands.
