Ardagh employs approximately 20,000 people at 65 production facilities in 16 countries. However, Ardagh is not only a market leader in its industry, but it is also at the forefront of sustainability &#8211; these efforts have now been rewarded with an outstanding EcoVadis Platinum sustainability rating.<\/p>\n<p>Ardagh has participated in the <a href=\"https:\/\/dfge.de\/en\/ecovadis\/\">EcoVadis Assessment<\/a> for several years, documenting its sustainability performance in the areas of environment, labour and human rights, sustainable procurement, and ethics. In 2022, Ardagh set itself a goal to further improve on its previous Gold-Rating to become one of the top 1% of companies recognised with a platinum EcoVadis rating. For this reason, Ardagh collaborated with the experts at DFGE, whose many years of expertise could help them to better identify, record, and further intensify their global sustainability
