Novelis Neighbour
Novelis Neighbour is a global programme established by Novelis in 2012 as part of our Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy. We have an ongoing commitment to achieve industry-leading economic and environmental goals, while simultaneously improving the quality of life for our employees and their families, the communities where we operate and society as a whole.
Through Novelis Neighbour, our company has developed a reputation for giving back to our communities through financial contributions and volunteer hours. We achieve this through donations and support given throughout the year, the highlight of which is our Novelis Month of Service which takes place in October, across our global operations.
Every year the programme donates over £3 million and gives over 24,000 volunteer hours.
Through the Novelis Neighbour initiative Novelis employees support more than 250 community projects at 30 sites in 10 countries. These projects focus on three pillars: making communities safer; supporting Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) education; and, increasing recycling by consumers.
