3 Forging Ahead Together

Dear Colleague,

This is one of the most exciting times in the history of Novelis, and I welcome you to the team. Today, we begin a journey to shape this company – our company – into the defining leader of the aluminum industry. Today we begin “Forging Ahead Together.”

As part of this journey, we will accelerate our growth, while strengthening our strong traditions of safety, innovation, quality and customer partnership. In doing so, we will deliver value to our customers, our employees and the communities where we live and work - all while delivering on the Novelis Purpose of “Shaping a Sustainable World Together.”

Our integration teams have done an excellent job preparing us for today; yet the work has only just begun. As we start to integrate our culture, processes and systems, it is important to recognize that this is no small task and we’re likely to feel some growing pains along the way.

To help support your personal transition and success as a Novelis employee, this guide provides a starting point of things you need to know about the new Novelis. If you have other questions, please ask your manager, your HR business partner, or reference the integration page on InsideNovelis.

The months ahead will be fast-paced, yet professionally invigorating, as we work to build the new Novelis.

It is a tremendous honor to lead this company-especially at this point in our history-and l look forward to seeing all that we will accomplish together.

Regards,
