2024 Highlights
Our purpose is simple and bold.
We exist to unlock the infinite potential of aluminum to advance a world free from waste. Our pathway to realizing our purpose is clear and achievable. In this report we will lay out how Ball brings this purpose to life through our strategy, our commercial operations and the exceptionally skilled and passionate people of Ball.
All in on Aluminum
Foundational to our strategy is the uniquely valuable nature of aluminum itself. We are fully committed and well on our way forward — all in on aluminum. The properties of aluminum make it an exceptional packaging solution for a truly circular economy. Unlike other materials, aluminum can be recycled repeatedly, offering the potential for infinite circularity without compromising structural or aesthetic quality.
Transforming Business Through Circularity
At Ball, we view circularity as a transformative approach to business that drives value for our customers and our company. With many of our customers committed to continually improving their sustainability performance, circularity is Ball’s biggest lever to help them achieve their goals. Increasing aluminum recycling rates captures lost value, reduces emissions and ensures a steady supply of high-quality materials.
Commercial Excellence
At Ball, strong customer relationships are built on understanding and delivering what matters most to our customers. As part of our commitment to prioritize the ‘Voice of Our Customer’ and to keep a real-time pulse on the market, we’re strengthening our insights and marketing capabilities. Our dedicated team conducts custom market research, helping us better understand evolving customer needs and consumer preferences.
