  • How We Work

In 2009, Novelis launched a global procurement transformation initiative to develop world-class support processes. The new organization is a category model with a strong strategic sourcing team in both the central headquarters and the regions. There is also a clear distinction between strategic sourcing and transactional activities.

The primary goal of the transformation is to improve the efficiency of the Company’s procurement activities through a strategic approach to sourcing and the streamlining of transactional processes.

Mission Statement

Procurement’s mission is to provide our customers (Novelis Value Streams, Plant Operations and Corporate Offices) with the best value for procured goods and services while creating a sustainable competitive advantage in our global business.

Organization

Procurement has lead roles in each region for non-metal procurement. Procurement also has central lead roles for the global sourcing of metal and non-metal commodities, such as can coatings and mill rolls.
