Our Sustainability Journey

As stewards of our resources, we’re inspired to explore pathways to a more sustainable future. Each of our operations at Ball Horticultural Company are empowered to serve our global communities within the horticultural market and preserve the environment as well.

Our Goals

In 2021, Ball launched our 2030 sustainability strategy, uniting our global operations around three corporate-wide goals, each modeled after a United Nations Development Goal. Today, we have much to be proud of as we make significant impacts in many areas of sustainability.

Ball is among the first employers in our industry to establish a living wage program. We are progressing on our goal to reduce our corporate carbon footprint by 50%, and we are advancing our efforts to conserve water and eliminate the discharge of hazardous pollutants and chemicals.

Our Report

In our latest sustainability report, Sowing Sustainability, we declare for the first time the story of our global programs, initiatives and goals, as well as celebrate our progress and achievements. Sowing Sustainability – available in English and Spanish – represents our evolution to a more formal approach to sustainability discourse and lays a foundation for future reporting in alignment with international standards and requirements.
