A message on diversity from the CEO

For more than five decades, Ball Aerospace has changed the face of technology. From developing the systems that revolutionized our understanding of the Universe to applying technologies that keep our nation safe; the ability to accomplish these significant achievements lies with the people who are the foundation of the company.

The success of Ball Aerospace is rooted in a deep and unique culture that values the creativity and competence of individuals. Each of those individuals brings their own background, experiences and characteristics – and those attributes build strength. Working together in teams, peoples’ different perspectives yield the best results. And contributions of a diverse array of suppliers and vendors even further adds to this strength. It is these differences that allow us to question for the purpose of dialogue, to challenge for the purpose of clarity and to come together in a technology-development environment in which the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Diversity of experience and thought is essential to any thriving enterprise. We must have the best people, regardless of heritage, background, philosophy and physical characteristics. At Ball Aerospace, the respect for the individual and their experience is the cornerstone by which we build shared accomplishment … and its reward. Our core values highlight our commitment to fostering an environment in which all people have an opportunity to contribute.

It is my commitment as leader of the company, that diversity of thought and background are as respected and treasured as our technical accomplishments. With these attributes in tandem, Ball Aerospace has a tremendously bright future ahead.
