Transcript of Novelis neighbor volunteer month 2014
Dear Novelis Neighbor Site Champions and Volunteers,
This book is meant to honor each and every one of you who
made our third annual One Novelis Volunteer Month the biggest
and most successful to date. The projects I see in this photo
book reflect the passions and grassroots efforts of our
people wishing to come together to make a difference
in the communities around them.
I’d like to thank each of you – from our site champions to our
volunteers – for your support year-round of Novelis Neighbor
volunteer projects and initiatives. By collaborating and being a
force for good in our communities, you are helping Novelis
earn the distinction of being a leader in sustainability.
Congratulations and thank you for contributing to an outstanding
