First Movers Coalition – Aluminium commitment

The First Movers Coalition (FMC) aluminium commitment requires members to ensure at least 10% of their primary aluminium procurement is low-carbon by 2030, defined as having a carbon footprint below 3 tonnes of CO2e per tonne. The commitment excludes carbon offsets and specifies acceptable chain of custody models, while offering an optional target for 50% recycled aluminium procurement by 2030.

• Members of the FMC aluminium sector must commit to procuring low-carbon primary aluminium (99.7% purity) such that at least 10% of their annual primary aluminium volumes meet this standard by 2030.
• Low-carbon primary aluminium is defined as having a carbon footprint of less than 3 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of aluminium produced, calculated using the International Aluminium Institute (IAI) methodology. This boundary includes mining, alumina production, anode production, electrolysis, ingot casting, transport, electricity generation, and waste processing, but excludes semi-finished product production, use, and end-of-life stages.
• Members may optionally commit to ensuring that at least 50% of the total mass of their annual aluminium procurement comes from recycled or secondary aluminium by 2030.
• The use of carbon offsets cannot be used to fulfill the FMC aluminium commitment, and the primary low-carbon commitment does not apply to recycled or secondary aluminium.
