CSR Initiative of the Year recognition for Ardagh Group

Ardagh Group’s work with Leeds Rhinos Foundation, to help rehabilitate prisoners, has won the UK Packaging Award for ‘CSR Initiative of the Year’. Ardagh's Doncaster production facility in the UK is part of Leeds Rhinos Foundation’s OnSide project, which develops prisoners in HMP Hatfield through challenging activities and value-based lessons, demonstrating how to take positive steps forward.

The series of eight week courses is filled with classroom and physical activity sessions, designed to motivate, rehabilitate and resettle individuals into society, secure sustainable employment and enjoy a successful life away from crime.

Ardagh Doncaster hosts participants in a recruitment day at the end of each course, providing experiences that prepare them to seek employment following release. Participants undertake mock interviews with Ardagh’s senior management, learn about business, tour the facility and deliver presentations they have prepared during the course.
