Crown Holdings 2022 Sustainability Report: Our Approach to Sustainability

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2023 / Crown Holdings, Inc.
Originally published in Crown Holding's 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report

Built around 20 aggressive - but measurable - sustainability goals to be completed by or before the end of 2030, the Twentyby30 program zeroes in on five key pillars of action that represent topics of urgent global concern and reflect the priorities of our internal and external stakeholders. Each pillar contains stated goals that are set against a 2019 baseline and focuses on initiatives where we can make notable impact. Together, they create a compelling framework for achieving long-term change.

But equal to setting goals that can make a difference is being accountable to achieving them. While we have made meaningful progress against our goals, our sustainability journey is by no means complete. Every day, we apply our learnings, whether from triumphs or setbacks, to improve and refine our approach as we work to become a more sustainable Company.

Our Twentyby30 program includes 20 measurable ESG goals to be completed by or before 2030. All goals and progress are measured against a 2019 baseline.

Climate Action

Acknowledges how climate change can have financial impacts on our global business - however, we can create opportunities for growth by proactively mitigating risks throughout our value chain and particularly through partnerships with our suppliers. We will aim to achieve the goals tied to this pillar by focusing on production efficiency, product and process innovation, strategic material procurement and utilization of renewable electricity.

Resource Efficiency
