Ball Corporation selected for key social responsibility index
Filed by Bill Bruce
Ball Corporation has been selected for inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series. The index is designed to facilitate investment in companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility standards.
Companies in the FTSE4Good Index Series have met stringent social and environmental criteria, and are positioned to capitalise on the benefits of responsible business practice. To be included to the index, Ball was independently assessed and met the criteria of FTSE4Good.
“Social responsibility and sustainability offer opportunities to public companies to prosper while creating economic, social and environmental value,” said R David Hoover, Ball’s chairman, president and CEO. “The inclusion of Ball in the FTSE4Good Index Series offers investors a means to evaluate our company as a socially responsible investment.”
The index was created by the global index company FTSE Group, based in the UK.
