Ball Corporation is recognizing six of its 90 global manufacturing plants with the R. David Hoover Sustainability Award for their considerable progress toward Ball’s sustainability and business goals, including making the can the most sustainable package in the supply chain.
The annual award recognizes one plant in each division of Ball’s Global Beverage Packaging and Food & Aerosol Packaging businesses for year-over-year and longer-term operational improvements, as well as their role as product stewards, community ambassadors and team players.
The most sustainable plants of 2016 and highlights of their achievements include:
• Global Beverage Packaging: Brasília, Brazil (Beverage Packaging South America).
• Global Beverage Packaging: Cairo, Egypt (Beverage Packaging Asia Pacific & Beverage Packaging Africa, Middle East & Asia).
• Global Beverage Packaging: Fort Worth, TX, USA (Beverage Packaging North & Central America).
• Global Beverage Packaging: San Martino, Italy (Beverage Packaging Europe).
• Food & Aerosol Packaging: Canton-Brookline, OH, USA (Ball Tinplate).
• Verona, VA, USA (Ball Aerocan).
“Sustainability remains at the core of maximizing value in all of Ball’s businesses,” said John A. Hayes, chairman, president and CEO. “We continue to set aggressive goals and, thanks to disciplined execution at all levels, made significant progress toward achieving them last year.”
In 2011, Ball established the R. David Hoover Sustainability Award in honor of the company’s former chairman, president and CEO, who was a key driver in the development of Ball’s formal sustainability program.
