Contact Us WHO WE ARE IS IN ALL WE DO About Ball Packaging Aerospace Sustainability Innovation Our Approach At Ball Corporation, we believe in our people, our culture and our ability to deliver value to all of our stakeholders. Like uncompromising integrity and customer focus, being sustainable is part of our Drive for 10 vision, which leverages Ball’s strengths to achieve continued long-term success. By balancing economic, environmental and social impacts in our decision making and activities, we will create long-term shared value for our stakeholders and for Ball Corporation. This is our sustainability vision, which reflects our triple bottom line approach to sustainability and contributes to Ball becoming a more successful and sustainable enterprise. We strive to put the right people, processes and partners in place to help us achieve our vision. Since we began a formal approach to sustainability in 2006, we have broadened and deepened our efforts. While we initially focused our attention on six sustainability priorities in our operations, we added more corporate sustainability priorities over time, especially driven by insights we gained from our stakeholders. For each of our priorities, we defined why it is important for achieving long-term success and our Drive for 10 vision. Many of the sustainability challenges we encounter, such as water scarcity and packaging recycling, are too complex for one organization to tackle alone. Therefore, we participate in several multi-stakeholder programs that allow us and others to bundle resources and expertise to develop effective solutions. ENGAGING EMPLOYEES We use various tools to inform Ball’s approximately 14,500 employees about our sustainability efforts, explain our company’s sustainability goals, highlight improvements, share best practices and generate new ideas. For example, the annual Hoover Sustainability Award, named after our former chief executive officer, considers the annual sustainability performance improvements of each Ball plant in nine categories. Alongside the Big 6, various aspects such as promoting local packaging recycling initiatives or the team player behavior of each plant, are also assessed. The most successful plant per division receives the award. This competition further increases our plants’ engagement in measuring, understanding and improving their sustainability performance.

We aim to engage them even more in our sustainability efforts going forward so we can accelerate improvements, increase productivity and create innovative solutions. As a sustainable leader in the containers and packaging industry, Ball leverages sustainability to differentiate itself from our competitors. In the next five years, we will see an increase in material risk factors, including access to water, energy and raw materials, that require concentrated analysis. To successfully tackle some of these complex challenges, we must further increase employee engagement. Our employees understand the important role they play in making Ball a more successful and sustainable company. We aim to engage them even more in our sustainability efforts going forward so we can accelerate improvements, increase productivity and create innovative solutions.
