    Environmental record

    The Ball Corporation has made improvements to its environmental record since 2006, when the company began its first formal sustainability efforts.[50] In 2008 the Ball Corporation issued its first sustainability report and began releases subsequent sustainability reports on its website.[45] The first report was an ACCA-Ceres North American Sustainability Awards cowinner of the Best First Time Reporter award in 2009.[51][citation needed]

    In the Toxic 100 list for 2004, using data from 2002, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute (PERI) identified the Ball Corporation as the 59th-largest corporate producer of Air pollution in the United States, with an estimated 4.57 million pounds of toxic air released annually.[52] The PERI report for 2008, using data from 2005, ranked the Ball Corporation 54th on its Toxic 100 list; PERI’s report for 2010, using data from 2006, ranked it 65th.[53] The PERI studies indicated major pollutants included glycol ethers and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene.[54]

    The PERI Toxic 100 Air Polluters list for 2013 ranked the Ball Corporation as 619 in its list of companies producing the most air pollution in the United States.[55] In 2015 Newsweek ranked the Ball Corporation as 70th in their “Green 2015” report, which reviewed the environmental performances of the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the United States.[56][57][58]
