Novelis Inc., the global leader in rolled aluminum products and aluminum recycling, today announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Phil Martens has been named one of the Top 25 CEOs in the World by the Best Practice Institute.

"Phil Martens was chosen as one of the top 25 CEOs in the world because of his strong views on the importance of talent management," said Louis Carter, President and CEO of Best Practice Institute. "Key to the success of Novelis has been Phil's focused approach to global talent management, which closely aligns the company's sustainable business priorities with a comprehensive leadership development program."

"To build real value as a CEO," said Martens, "you have to appreciate the contribution of the people who work for you, with you and around you. The most successful organizations have active talent acquisition and development programs firmly in place, and at Novelis, this has been key to attracting and retaining the world-class talent necessary to drive our transformation. We could not have become the global leader in rolled aluminum for the world's best brands and a recognized industry leader in sustainability without a diligent and robust focus on talent management."
