ASI Antitrust Compliance PolicyAttendees are kindly reminded that the ASI is committed to complying with all relevant antitrust and competition laws and regulations and, to that end, has adopted an Antitrust Policy, compliance with which is a condition of continued ASI participation.
Failure to abide by these laws can potentially have extremely serious consequences for the ASI and its participants, including heavy fines and, in some jurisdictions, imprisonment for individuals.
You are therefore asked to have due regard to this Policy today and indeed in respect of all other ASI activity.

ASI – creating commitment and change
Hydro Bauxite & Alumina: “We are prepared to be held accountable for the way we operate, and these [ASI] certifications add obligations to our ambition to not only maximize the benefits of aluminium in use, but also to minimize the impact of producing it.”
Rio Tinto: “Aluminium has a key role to play in driving human progress, as a material of choice to reduce carbon and increase recycling across a wide range of end products from food packaging to buildings, planes, cars, mobile phones and computers. We expect leadership in responsible production will become increasingly important for our customers and the consumers who buy their products.”
