NOVELIS DONATES $10 MILLION TO NEVER SETTLE

Novelis Inc. the leading provider of sustainable aluminum solutions and a global leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, announced today that it is honoring the world-class treatment and care provided to the children of its employees by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. The company is making a total commitment of $10 million over five years to help Children’s reach its $1 billion goal for its Never Settle: A Campaign for Kids. The effort is the largest fundraising campaign in Children’s history and will complement a $2.4 billion investment the health system made to expand its capacity to provide pediatric health care and improve access for generations of children over the next 100 years.

From 2018 to 2020, Novelis employees sought out Children’s more than 500 times to meet their children’s medical needs. In keeping with its vision of corporate social responsibility and sustainability, Novelis’ multi-year commitment will help support access to the best care for its employees’ children, as well as for children across the United States, and will support Children’s work to advance pediatric medicine.

Through this purpose-driven charitable investment, Novelis upholds its ideals of shaping a more sustainable world together and expanding the global philanthropic footprint and mission of its parent company, Aditya Birla Group.

“This is a historic moment for Novelis to support a campaign with the potential to transform children’s healthcare in Georgia and beyond,” said Novelis President and CEO Steve Fisher. “Novelis’ donation is a great complement to the efforts of the Aditya Birla Group Center for Community Initiatives and Rural Development, which has had a tremendous impact on welfare by running more than 500 medical camps and 20 hospitals, treating more than one million patients and immunizing 70 million children against polio, among other achievements.”

The centerpiece of the campaign is Arthur M. Blank Hospital, a 1.5 million-square-foot facility that is scheduled to open in the fall of 2024. It will include a tower with two patient wings and additional operating rooms, specialized beds and diagnostic equipment to meet anticipated patient needs. Arthur M. Blank Hospital will greatly expand the System’s conference and simulation space to help more than 600 fellows and residents contribute to innovative work.

“We share Novelis’ commitment to sustainability, which contributes significantly to our team’s ability to achieve optimal health outcomes for all children and advance advocacy for the most vulnerable in our society,” said Janine Musholt, president of Children’s Foundation. “As the only independent pediatric health care system in Georgia, it is our responsibility to serve current and future generations of children and Novelis’ generous support will help us achieve that goal.”
