Novelis has released its sustainability report for fiscal year 2025 (April 1, 2024–March 31, 2025). The report captures the company’s push to make aluminium the backbone of a circular economy through its 3x30 vision — a strategy launched in 2024 to lift recycled content to 75 per cent, cut emissions intensity below 3 tonnes of CO₂e per tonne of flat-rolled product (FRP), and drive industry-wide transformation with different investments.
A year of reductions
The latest figures show Novelis is steadily closing in on those goals. Greenhouse-gas intensity dropped by 10 per cent in FY25, with overall carbon intensity falling from 4.0 to 3.6 tCO₂e per tonne of FRP. Since 2016, the company has reduced absolute emissions by 32 per cent. Energy use also came down, with a 3.7 per cent reduction in rolling absolute energy and a 1 per cent decrease in energy intensity against the FY20 baseline.
Progress stretched across other environmental metrics too. Water intensity declined 8 per cent, while waste-to-landfill intensity was cut by 12 per cent. Despite higher shipments, Novelis maintained 63 per cent average recycled content across its portfolio and recycled more than 84 billion used beverage cans worldwide.
