Novelis' Journey Towards Sustainability
“Doing the right thing by making sustainability
part of our daily lives.”
Corporate Sustainability is a long-term commitment that is based on Novelis' corporate values of integrity, accountability, trust and transparency, and teamwork. Our corporate values guide our growth as a leading, respected and value-driven organization.
Novelis' interpretation of sustainability involves:
· Improving Performance - increasing social and economic benefits and reducing environmental impacts;
· Strengthening Relationships and Partnerships - recognizing and working with all our stakeholders; and
• Demonstrating Integrity and Commitment - our values in our day-to-day operations.
Recycling is the cornerstone of Novelis' sustainability commitment. Environmental commitment covers a wide spectrum of actions such as lessening the impact on the environment, using resources wisely, and taking a stewardship approach to operations and products. Elements of our environmental commitment include:
-
Implementing environmental management systems at our facilities;
-
Improving the environmental performance of our products and processes through R&D;
-
Implementing resource and product stewardship;
-
Increasing stakeholder interaction;
-
Involving employees.
In addition, as part of our continued commitment to sustainable practices, Novelis is participating in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Climate Leaders program.
Launched in 2002, Climate leaders is an industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop long-term, comprehensive climate change strategies. Partners set a greenhouse gas reduction goal and inventory their emissions to measure progress.
