Who We Are

Novelis is the world’s largest producer of rolled aluminum and the global leader in beverage can recycling. We produce the highest-quality aluminum sheet and foil products for customers in automotive, transportation, packaging, electronics, construction and printing.

EHS Management

Achieving excellence in Environment, Health & Safety, and Quality lies in the implementation of effective management systems. At Novelis, all manufacturing sites are required to obtain registration to two internationally recognized management systems:

ISO 14001 for Environmental Management
OHSAS 18001 for Occupational Health and Safety Management

These management systems specify a "Plan, Do, Check and Act" methodology designed to deliver world-class performance. Implementation of these standards at Novelis operating sites assures that health & safety risks and environmental impacts are managed with rigor and results in continuous improvement in our performance.

Embracing Six Sigma and lean transformation concepts are key building blocks of our manufacturing excellence program. All Novelis manufacturing sites are registered to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. In addition, 30 of the 31 sites are registered to an internationally recognized ISO Quality Standard (primarily ISO 9001) and many hold market-specific certifications as well.

An EHS Director—reporting to the Vice President of Global Manufacturing Excellence—heads a team of specialists who develop standards, provide expertise and facilitate best practice. Ultimate ownership of EHS performance, however, rests with line managers throughout the organization.

At the corporate level, our EHS Steering Committee is led by the CEO; we have equivalent teams at the regional and plant levels. The regional and plant teams are championed by senior line managers with the support of EHS, Human Resources and Communication partners. The teams provide leadership, direction and strategy.
