Did you know approximately 70% of all aluminum cans are recycled globally? That makes the can the most recycled packaging product in the world!   From choosing aluminum to educating the next generation of recyclers, we can all take strides to be more sustainable.     Learn more about how we’re working toward a more circular economy at https://lnkd.in/dvpaMvss. ♾️    #Circularity #Sustainability #TeamAluminum 

We’re thrilled to partner with Dabur India Limited to introduce Réal Bites in our fully recyclable aluminum cans! Réal Bites features real fruit pieces and a vibrant, eye-catching design on the outside, requiring a specially designed can to package it perfectly. Réal Bites is available in India in two delightful flavors: Peach and Pineapple. Beyond their delicious taste, the aluminum cans extend the juice's shelf life to up to one year, surpassing the typical four-to-six-month shelf life of other packaging options. This means consumers can savor Réal Bites longer while making a sustainable choice, as aluminum cans are the most recycled beverage containers worldwide. The introduction of Réal Bites in a can format marks a significant step forward in providing consumers with a comprehensive range of beverage options in all desired packaging formats. With over 135 years of serving customers in India, Dabur India has become a trusted household name. We’re honored to collaborate with them to deliver a sustainable packaging solution for Réal Bites.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Green Action League! Fans of Arsenal, the Avalanche, the LA Rams, and the Nuggets completed “green goals” – actions like recycling, biking to work, and choosing aluminum – to score points and win prizes. More than 9,000 fans participated across the world and took 40,000 actions over the course of three weeks. 95% say they plan to continue taking small actions to live greener, creating a lasting impact even after the campaign is over. ♻️ “From adopting greener lifestyles to learning more about sustainable living, fans have demonstrated that collective small actions can make a monumental impact,” said Tom Gribbin, Founder of Planet League. “This campaign highlights the power of community and sport to drive a more sustainable future, and we couldn’t be prouder of what Arsenal, Los Angeles Rams, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Avalanche fans have achieved.” Well done to all involved! #Arsenal #Avalanche #Nuggets #Rams #GreenActionLeague

Ball Corporation attended COP29 Azerbaijan to drive discussions on aluminum sector decarbonization and circularity with clients, suppliers, global coalitions and initiatives, government agencies, and industry associations.   We participated in the panel, “Delivering Aluminum Resources in a Low-Carbon World”, held at the Canada Pavilion. Alongside leaders from the International Aluminium Institute, WSP, and Invest Quebec | Investissement Québec International, Ball's Global Stakeholder Relations Director, María Alegre outlined Ball’s decarbonization efforts and emphasized the value proposition of circularity in terms of GHG mitigation, resource security and efficiency, and supply chain resilience.   Additionally, Ball joined business and finance leaders in signing an open letter from the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA), urging all governments to stimulate demand for low- and near-zero-carbon materials to accelerate the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors.    We’re proud to be a part of the conversations advancing change within the industry and beyond globally.

We’re thrilled to share that our efforts in sustainability have been recognized at the 2024 Global Eclipse Summit by AB InBev! We’re honored to receive: 🏆 The 2024 Carbon Leap Award, for achieving the largest emissions reduction from 2022 to 2023. 🏆 The Zone Luminary Award: North America, for optimizing our joint footprint and reducing supply chain waste. 🏆 The Zone Luminary Award: South America, for a high-quality Eclipse roadmap and ambitious goals. Last year, our decarbonization progress was driven by two key trends: Increased renewable electricity use: Our global renewable electricity penetration reached 58%, with several countries achieving 100% (USA, Austria, Chile, Germany, and more). Improved energy efficiency: We reduced natural gas intensity in our Global Beverage Packaging business, cutting both absolute and normalized Scope 1 emissions. Key efforts included optimizing ovens, recovering heat from equipment, installing heat pumps, and leveraging real-time energy monitoring. The Eclipse Awards reflect the power of collaboration and our commitment to a sustainable future. Thank you to AB InBev for recognizing our work! Together, we’re taking meaningful steps toward reducing our environmental impact.

Making a positive impact in our communities would not be possible without our employees. To wrap up our 2024 Who We Are Month spotlights, we are featuring Erick De Campos Santos, a Reporting & Data Analytics Analyst in Brazil. Erick regularly volunteers with two organizations, Hamburgada do Bem and Elderly People Nursing Home, which support children and elderly members of his community, respectively.  When asked about the impact of his volunteer work, Erick shared, “Both places allow me to connect with different stages of life and offer something meaningful, whether through feeding and caring for children or through companionship and support for the elderly.”  Erick’s commitment reiterates the impact that giving back has on both the giver and the receiver. We’re incredibly impressed by his dedication to being a continuous force for good in the community.   A heartfelt thank you to Erick and to all our employees who volunteered in September and throughout the year. We are grateful for your contributions and look forward to continued impact. Read the full story at: https://lnkd.in/gUA5XuiT #LifeAtBall #WWAM
