AAMA Conference Hosts Expert on Sustainability Standards
During the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2018 Annual Conference in Orlando, those in attendance heard from Dr. Fiona Solomon, CEO of the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, on the topic of sustainability standards and certification in raw materials supply chains. Solomon focused on the role sustainability standards are playing in impacting sourcing and production across a range of natural resources sectors and more.
"Most companies are already addressing sustainability in some way, drawing on a mix of company policies and strategies," said Solomon, adding that standards and certification programs aim to help companies. They can be used to attain a company's social and environmental objectives, provide independent assurance of systems and performance, support responsible sourcing and help "de-risk" supply chains.
