Csr - A Firm Grip On Community Relations

Football is a pivotal part of the community in and around Irvine, Scotland, where Ardagh has a plant. This goes some way to explain why the firm has sponsored the FA junior league, known as the Ardagh League Cup, for the past six years. Ardagh employs 6,500 people at 20 plants in seven European countries. Many of these facilities have existed in the same location for years and forged strong relations with the local communities, so it is unsurprising to discover the number of local projects the firm is involved in. These charitable projects allow employees to get involved. In the Netherlands, for example, there is the Ardagh-sponsored Roparun in May each year where teams run the 530km from Paris to Rotterdam in aid of young cancer patients.
