Crown shares progress on its Twentyby30™ sustainability goals
Crown's Twentyby30™ programme includes 20 measurable sustainability goals to be completed by or before the end of 2030, set against a 2019 baseline.
This year's report, titled "Progress in Motion," emphasises Crown's continued progress in several key areas of the programme, its execution plan and examples of internal and external collaboration to advance toward a more sustainable future.
"The goal of our Twentyby30™ programme has always been to further embed sustainability into our global business practices and make meaningful reductions to our impact on the planet within this decade," said Tim Donahue, president, CEO & chairman of the board at Crown.
"Achieving our aggressive goals requires partnership across our company and our industry, thoughtful strategy and a willingness to continue to make progress against those goals. Our 2022 Sustainability Report shares our progress and evidences our commitment to transparency with internal and external stakeholders."
By the end of 2022, Crown has assessed 75% of its core raw materials and core service suppliers by spend for compliance with Crown's Responsible and Ethical Sourcing policy, which far exceeds its 2025 goal, said the company.
"Sustainability is top of mind for our Crown team members every day, and we are proud to be on target to meet our Twentyby30™ goals and initiatives," said John Rost, Ph.D., vice president, global sustainability and regulatory affairs at Crown.
"Due in part to its inherent sustainability attributes, metal packaging continues to garner increased consumer demand, which fuels our efforts toward achieving our Twentyby30™ goals through measurable and achievable steps forward. We are constantly inspired by the people of Crown, in all settings and in all parts of the world, who keep us moving forward on our sustainability journey, and we look forward to our continued collaboration and success."
