People & Communities
At Novolex, investing in our employees and the communities where we operate is fundamental to our core value to Make Tomorrow Better. We are dedicated to fostering a workplace that prioritizes safety, ethical conduct, inclusivity, health and well-being, and community engagement.
Safety
At Novolex, safety is an integral part of our operations and is central to everything we do. Our focus on safety is strengthened by promoting the health and well-being of employees, which helps maintain a productive and resilient workforce.
Safety Culture
We Champion Safety by promoting the well-being of employees, contractors, customers, and the communities we serve. Our safety teams continually invest in processes that minimize risk and potential incidents, and they monitor safety measures across our operations. We encourage all employees to adopt a “safety always” approach, fostering a culture of open communication and accountability.
Communicating About Safety
We encourage employees to report work-related hazards through multiple channels, including regular Plant Safety Committee meetings, anonymous suggestion boxes at each facility, and the confidential Novolex Ethics and Compliance Hotline. Monthly safety committee meetings bring together management and production floor employees, fostering direct and open communication.
Good Catch Program
In 2024, we continued to build upon the success of our “Good Catch” program to engage employees on the production floor. The program encourages reporting of near misses, suggestions for improvement, and recognition of colleagues who demonstrate outstanding efforts in creating a safe work environment.
Communities & Focused Giving
Novolex remains committed to engaging with the communities where we operate by contributing both donations and volunteer efforts. Through local partnerships, volunteerism, and employee-led initiatives, we focus on creating meaningful impact where it matters most. Programs like Month of Action bring this commitment to life across our Novolex locations.
