Sustainability

With the release of our first sustainability report on June 30, 2008, Ball Corporation continues to be a leader in the packaging industry by being the first North America-based packaging company to publish a report. For Ball, sustainability is a systematic way of doing business that creates economic, social and environmental value for our shareholders, society and the planet. Whether it is working to reduce our environmental footprint, helping our customers to become more sustainable or investing further in our employees or our communities, we are committed to making Ball a more sustainable enterprise.
