ATLANTA, Sept. 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Novelis Inc., a leading sustainable aluminum solutions provider and world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, today issued its sustainability report for the 2023 fiscal year (April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023). The report highlights the company's progress toward its sustainability goals, which encompass key environmental metrics, employee safety, diversity and inclusion, and community engagement.

The company reported progress toward its goal to reduce absolute carbon emissions by 30% by 2026 from its FY2016 baseline, with a 14% reduction in FY23 (includes scopes 1, 2 & 3).

"We believe that maximizing aluminum's circularity is the most effective way to decarbonize, and Novelis is leading the industry on that front by expanding closed-loop recycling partnerships with customers, investing in additional recycling capacity, and creating new alloys and processing methods to increase our use of recycled metal inputs. The success of these and other recycling initiatives help ensure we continue to deliver on our Purpose of Shaping a Sustainable World Together."

In addition to the noted accomplishments in absolute CO₂ reduction and recycling, the report highlights other achievements including:
