BALL Corp (BALL)

Ball Corporation is one of the world's leading suppliers of aluminum packaging for the beverage, personal care and household products industries. Organized in 1880 and incorporated in Indiana in 1922, the company reported consolidated net sales of $13.16 billion in 2025. Its stated purpose is to unlock the potential of aluminum to advance a world free from waste, and its strategy rests on four pillars: executing every day, staying close to customers, accelerating the substrate shift to aluminum, and managing complexity. Sustainability and circularity are central to its approach, including a science-based target to cut its greenhouse gas footprint by 55 percent by 2030 and reach net zero carbon emissions before 2050.
