Score 3 - Strong
Full assessment

Ball Corp appears to maintain a strong governance framework for ensuring its climate lobbying aligns with its climate transition plan, spanning both direct engagement and trade association advocacy, with clear oversight by named executives. Ball's CEO "is engaged at board level for oversight of our climate change and lobbying advocacy," while the Chief Sustainability Officer "is responsible for its day-to-day implementation," establishing accountable leadership. The company states that it "regularly review[s] our advocacy positions, policy objectives, memberships, associations, alliances and coalitions against our climate transition plan," and employs "internal dashboard communications" so that employees "interact both directly and indirectly with policy makers and trade associations" and are "required to read, understand and align with these internal communications, and applicable internal policies." Ball is "publicly committed to aligning our climate change lobbying with the goal of restricting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels," applying this commitment "to all Ball businesses and subsidiaries in all of our operating jurisdictions" and taking steps "to help align our memberships, associations, alliances and coalitions around 1.5°C." However, the company does not disclose a publicly available, in-depth audit or third-party review specifically evaluating its climate lobbying alignment, and the precise mechanisms and criteria for assessing its indirect lobbying through trade associations are not described.
