Novelis was honored with the Environmental Responsibility/Stewardship award for its commitment to sustainability, which was announced in May 2011. Novelis pledged to increase the amount of recycled aluminum input material in its manufacturing process to 80 percent by 2020 from 33 percent in 2010.  Novelis' recycled content is now up to 39 percent.  The company has adopted a number of ambitious targets to improve the eco-efficiency of its operations. Novelis is investing millions to increase recycling capacity, including more than $350 million in Brazil, Germany, Korea, Italy and the United States.

"The award is a testament to the talented, dedicated individuals who make Novelis an industry leader and partner of choice to our customers every day," said Novelis President and CEO Phil Martens.
