According to John Rost, Crown’s vice president of global sustainability and regulatory affairs, “our strategy focuses on several key issues including emissions reduction, product lifecycle and recyclability to slow the pace of climate change, transitioning to renewable electricity, prioritising water preservation, enhancing employee and product safety, and increasing workforce diversity.” We recognise that sustainability is a process, not a destination, and therefore we’re dedicated to always trying new things with our products and services, as well as investigating ways to speed up the pace of change by teaming up with our clients and suppliers.
Crown has just joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and its sustainability report follows the GRI Core Standard and the UNGC’s Ten Principles.
