NOVONIX Releases Inaugural Sustainability Report

BRISBANE, Australia, March 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or “the Company”), a leading battery materials and technology company, today announced that it has released its inaugural Sustainability Report.

Environmental

While we know that our battery materials and technology are key to enabling an electrified future, we recognize the need to reduce the impact of our operations, products, and corporate activities on the environment. Throughout our offices and facilities, we’ve made a commitment to sustainability.

NOVONIX’s Tennessee facilities are supplied by power from the TVA, which has an approximately 60% carbon-free power generation base with plans to increase this level to approximately 80%. Leveraging this clean energy, our proprietary continuous graphitization technology, fully continuous process flow, and high-purity feedstocks are producing what we believe to be some of the lowest GHG emission synthetic graphite in the world.

Learn more about how we’re driving a cleaner battery supply chain in our 2024 Sustainability Report.

Social

The health, safety, and wellbeing of our employees and the communities where we operate are essential to NOVONIX’s success and growth. We are committed to the development of meaningful policies and measurable targets in the areas of health and safety, and workplace culture and inclusion. Fostering a culture of safety and inclusion across our organization requires long-term commitment, and we are shaping our organization in a way that embraces these values.

By focusing on education, workforce development, community engagement, and industry leadership, we aim to drive meaningful impact. We recognize, respect, and embrace a more diverse and inclusive workforce, which we consider essential, as a technology company, to accomplish our mission to develop innovative, sustainable technologies and high-performance materials for the electric vehicle and energy storage battery industries.
