Crown Holdings: Inspiring Inclusion on the Production Floor - And Everywhere - Seite 2

Two successful women who completed the program and have joined our organization are Viviane Pacheco and Francielle dos Santos. Both have expressed gratitude for the training's valuable skill development, which has enriched their careers:

• Viviane Pacheco, Production Mechanic Apprentice and Women in Industry trainee: "For me, the course experience was very good. This course added…lots of learnings. I always want to do my best, I always want to be able to learn more. Companies should practice more the inclusion of women in the industry."
• Francielle dos Santos, Production Mechanic Apprentice and Women in Industry trainee: "I was delighted with the program [Crown was] doing, the attitude of including us in this field of mechanics, of operating machines. The course came to teach much more practices, theories…this exchange was really rich, both personal and professional."

Alongside the program, we have worked to increase women's presence in technical roles within engineering, production, supply chain, and beyond. We have collaborated with our team to identify new professional development opportunities in those fields. Recently, we've welcomed several female engineers to our team, and in all roles across our organization, two out of every ten new hires are women.

Amy Weisel-Gibbs and Rileigh Swanson are two examples of career paths in supply chain and engineering. Both are encouraged to see women becoming more of a focus in the industrial field:

• Amy Weisel-Gibbs, Sales Operations Manager: "Everyone, regardless of gender or background, has the potential to bring value to the table. Women play a vital role and possess unique capabilities that enrich teams and drive progress."
• Rileigh Swanson, Mechanical Engineering: "It is exciting to see how many women are in engineering, not just Signode. I love to see how the world is showcasing women in engineering around the world!"

In addition to these types of roles, we are striving to propel women into leadership positions that are traditionally held by men. Boosting gender representation within all levels of the Company provides crucial examples of opportunity and success for women within the workforce.
